I've read comments like yours about Redhat and Suse before and for my next (half cocked ) Linux experience I definately want to try Suse in preference to Redhat 7.x.

Whether I really want to ride the Linux learning-curve depends upon a lot of things but for now a piece-of-cake install would sure help me get started. It will be on a networked (cable internet connected) spare box but if possible I'd like to keep clear of the potential pitfalls of an ftp install.

I can't find ISOs for Suse, are they legally available?

Edit: Apologies, I've just realised how OT this post is
