Just a little thread hijack, sorry.
I also want to give Linux a try, but I'm still in doubt whether I should try OpenSuse or (k)Ubuntu. On the one hand I'm leaning towards ubuntu, because it's currently so popular, hence more supported?
On the other hand I want to try out Suse because I've already bought a few books on Suse (last year, before Ubuntu became the next best thing), and this way I could still use those books. There's a 32 and a 64 bit version of Suse available for download. Would somebody recommend the 64 bit version? Or does that bring an equal amount of extra difficulties with it (drivers etc), like this is the case with Windows, and so is not recommended for a normal user?

Thanks all!
(and sorry for the hijack Dignan!)


32-bit Ubuntu. That's what you should try.
The 64-bit version will have trouble with third-party binary apps
and some browser plugins, all of which are generally okay only on 32-bit.
