[Discuss] SUSE looks good!

[Joan McIlmoyl Cleghorn]

Have Kubuntu installed on my laptop though don't much like the 'K' desktop.
Am simply trying some different distros on my desktop using the Live CDs to
decide which I want to install. I'm thinking it won't likely be SUSE<g>.
I've tried GenTOO which I quite liked and PCLinuxOS which I also liked. I'm
going to check out Ubuntu as well......
