I used to use SuSE 9.0 on a PII but that failed eventually. (HDD crash)
SuSE is good for starters but 9.0 wouldn't build later versions of
gEDA for some reason.
(that might have been related to the HDD problem)
I used SuSE starting on version 6.3 and stayed until 9.2.
I am currently on gentoo. I a

I like Gentoo for me. I like how it manages packages
and avoids the dependency from out of date libraries.

The Gentoo install is time consuming and sometimes tricky, but the end
