As a total Linus newbie myself, I downloaded SuSE Linux a couple of nights ago. Burned the ISO to CD-ROM and after a few little snags, mainly hardware related, I now have SuSE Linux 9.1 up and running on a spare laptop. Despite years of experience with all flavors of Windows, I must admit, the Linux install was a piece of cake once I got past the hardware bumps.
