I'm thinking of ditching Windows totally on my desktop at home
as I build my next upgraded x86-bsed PC. So, I wanted to take a poll of the
group for a recommendation on which Linux distro to use. I downloaded
Fedora Core, Slackware, FreeBSD, Unbuntu and Linspire.
Any thoughts from the group?

We've been recommending SuSE (now Novell) for several years to our clients for
both workstations and servers - and we (clients and ourselves) have not been
disappointed. Some of our clients have several thousand workstations - mixed
Windows and Linux - and many servers - again mixed Linux, Sun Solaris, IBM
AIX, and Windows versions of various ilk.
I personally have used a SuSE Linux workstation for years . In fact, I started
"playing" with Linux about version 0.89 (slightly post Minix)...
I've done many analysis's for clients of RH v. SuSE - and SuSE almost always
"wins". What you finally choose is application and manageability dependent -
so try both.
