Well, if you want KDE 3.1, then you should get 8.2 I have heard that it 
is the best SuSE since 7.2 (their best ones seem to be the x.2). But 
still, it's not something lovely. Ofcourse, for general desktop useage, 
it beats RedHat9, but it is still RPM based, which talks for itself. 
Make sure that these newbies don't face te RPM dependency hell, because 
if they do, they will go back to using You-Know-Who products. But aside 
from RPM, and the horrible Yast 2 (which never works), then SuSE 8.2 is 
alright. (You can find 8.2 proffessional in Paytakht I guess)

The problem with SuSE Yast and Mandrake Drake and RedHat [insert 
application name here] is that, they all want to make GNU/Linux a copy 
of Microsoft. For example, in Mandrake 9, when I added a user using the 
adduser command, the userdrake tool, didn't recognize this user. Which 
means if you wnat to do anything, you shall work only with these guys 
tools. You don't have your conventional lovely Unix tools.

I am personaly Using Debian, and am giving Gentoo a try, but I know that 
these are not newbie friendly distros. For a newbie frienndly distro 
(one that I can recommend to my friends), I have tried many distros, 
from Xandros to Lycoris to [insert a distro name here].Now I am looking 
forward to Libranet. It is actually, a Debian, with a nice installer. 
It does have apt, and after installing it, one can change sources.list 
and point them to the official debian repository and upgrade to 
whatever version of debian they want. It just gives a way, to use 
debian, with a nice installer, with hardware auto detection, and all 
the bangs that Debian lacks. I am personally looking forward to it, 
seriously.


Cheers
