I'm gonna violate all rules for civilised posting and say "Me too",
but I was a Mandrake fan for many years, until one of their releases
just irritated me senseless, and I changed to SUSE about 2 years ago.

It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. I like it better than
anything else I've tried, and just within the last 2 years, I've
tried Slackware (again), Gentoo, and Ubuntu (along with booting up
live CD's here and there, and looking carefully at Mepis).
