I never reccomend Suse. It misguessed my P&P monitor and gave it a higher
line frequency than it could take. The smoke signals out the back said 'I am
broken".

I sort of like mandrake because it does a lot for you and being a hard
working IT man (and a touch on the lazy side) I like anything that makes
life easier.

But, if I had to be serious I would say the suse one seemed better setup
when I ran its Server installation. It chopped out a lot more of the clutter
that isn't needed in that setup. Ok, so this is possible with any of the
distributions by manually selecting installed packages, but I'm a hard lazy
IT man (and a touch on the working side). something like that. I wrote it
down somewhere....
