I am a relative neophyte, having run a couple of versions of redhat, and one less than satisfactory attempt with Debian (It may have been my hardware at the time, but I never ever did get on the internet through Debian...)
But, after experiencing Linux through Redhat, and learning enough to get x running and do the internet thing, I found SuSE to be very nice, easy to work with, most of the things I care about very easy to set up (x and internet access) and even successfully for the first time arranged for other users on my computer to have dial up internet access without being logged in as root. I know, I know, big deal.
Well, it was for me, and that's my point. I am a Personnel Director, not and IS director, so, am very non-computer technically talented. But, I love SuSE. msc

don't have 100, but in no particular order, books that affected my life: Dune by Frank Herbert. The rest of the sequence is not nearly as good, I got bored. BUT, DUNE is a masterwork Almost anything my Heinlein. Methusalah's Children, Red Planet, Star Beast for younger or early reading, Starship Troopers (forget about the movie, read the book) a fascinating discussion of how things maybe ought to be. Stranger in a Strange Land and Time Enough for Love, for older readers with more challenging concepts. Old stuff by Theordore Sturgeon, Cliffard Simak, really great shorter novels that are really still quite wonderful to read. Piers Anthony wrote significant sci/fi before going to Xanth. Macroscope, Ominvore, there are more. He's an entertaining read. Arthur Clarke: 2001 space oddysey, etc. All very good. The Rendezvou with Rama books, all good. Classic and classy stuff. Ray Bradbury, I don't care for his sci/fi for some reason. But, get and read Dandelion Wine. A simple and deep treasure. venturing away from sci/fi, but justifiable I think, Moorcock and his Eternal Champion Multiverse can be read and left and revisited etc. Elric of Melnibone is fascinating. Also, The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien. Read The Hobbit first. Glorious reading. And, The first and second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. Sweeping prose, action so intense sometimes you have to throw the book down and splash your face with water and just pant a while. Hope you enjoy. My list does not do service to the genre. But, I enjoyed all the above immensely. Good Reading. msc

ummm... The judge appears to be in touch on the core issue here: Whether or not MS is a monopoly. How he views Linux is not relevant to the importance of his over all decision.
