I'll admit I've been quite pleased with Debian and Debian based distros, and would prefer to support them most when I give computers to my friends and family (which happens regularly - I codified a natural law once: when my income rises, I emit a computer at my family). Before the Sun-Microsoft settlement that was just announced was just announced, I was looking at SuSE, Novell, Ximian, Sun Java Desktop, and IBM, all of which either are or own or support SuSE, and thinking that learning how to run SuSE (again) might be a good investment. (Hey, at least it's not Microsoft.) That's why I was thinking of it, and one of the things I can do to get more of a basis for acting was to try it out. For one thing, if I can't make it work, I might remember why I went with Debian.
