I began with Tranameritech CDs and not printed manual. I moved to
Debian, then SuSE and RedHat.
I like Debian very much, but SuSE became my primary distribution for
several reasons.
1. IMHO YaST works very well and SuSE, including X installed without
much fuss(that does not mean I did not struggle with configuring such
things as PPP :-))
2. Many great apps like Blender.
3. The manual is the most extensive of the Linux distributions I've
seen, including more than just a passing mention of system security.
SuSE has, to the best of my knowledge given much support to what I would
call rather esoteric hardware.
Regards,
Bob
