Well, I think it just depends on one's needs. SuSE has never
configured my HP PSC unit for me out of the box, nor my ATI Radeon 9700
video card. Mandrake does. Now, if you have an nVidia card and a normal
Deskjet, SuSE might do a better job for you. It all depends on what
hardware you have. While it doesn't factor into its review results, I'd
also note that if SuSE did a better job with GNOME support, it'd have a
better chance of winning me over personally... of course Novell Linux
may do the trick.
Although, personally, I'm hedging my bets that Fedora Core 4 will be
*the* premier distro of the Spring crop. With GNOME 2.10, better GUI
config tools and its razor sharp focus on no-non-sense, Apple-like
ease-of-use, it should be great. Plus it will run on PPC, which should
spawn a new industry of Mac minis running Fedora. <g>
