Running SuSE 9.0 presently. (mirrored a mirror locally for a hard drive install)
I haven't bought SuSE since the 6.x and 7.x days; one of the reasons I like it is that everything works, you don't have to munge through config files to get your peripherals going.
One detractor; if you do have to make some changes to config files for options that aren't available through suseconfig or yast, the changes you make get overwritten, and you have to run suseconfig just about any time you want to make a change to any system settings.
I suppose I could write a script to run after suseconfig to put the stuff back but I shouldn't have to and don't want to.
Over all, for ease of use and getting windows users over to linux, SuSE is THE BEST! If you are setting up any kind of server, try RedHat or Debian.
One of these days I'm going to roll my own, but I haven't found the time yet.
I disagree, I used to watch the screen savers a lot. They do cater to the lowest common denominator. All that web-cam stuff, e-mails, and calls got too repetetive, answering the same questions over and over again. This is why I stopped watching TechTV about 3 years ago.

This is downright scary!

All I can say is WRONG.

If I could afford it I would buy one.
