The *nix cat fight thread. No, I really just want opinions ;-)

Due to certain issues I have less and less booted into SUSE and mostly just used my comfortable but at times frustrating XP install. I need to re-evaluate my distro of choice. The plan is to likely swear off M$ for good on my main box. If Apple would just release a damn retail version of OSX. Since they aren't yet, it's probably gonna have to be a Linux flavour.

I'm looking for a distro firmly intended for standard desktop use. I have always used SUSE and am pretty familiar with it, YAST works pretty well. Is there a better one for a desktop? Web install would probably be prefered. Documentation is a HUGE plus. I'd say I am a medium experienced Linux user. Not a total newbie, but not l33t ;-)

Thoughts? I am still leaning towards SUSE since I am so familar with it, but am open to any other as long as it's well documented and has a fairly straight forward install.

Final question. Is there yet any Active-X compatible modules for Konquerer or Mozilla?

Nice laid out site, everything simple, easy to read and navigate. I'm taking a look atm. Thanks!

No. You can run IE under linux though: ies4linux

With this you can use IE itself for the specific pages requiring ActiveX crap.

Sweet, thanks :-D

I actually prefer Linux over XP, but there were a few very key features I was struggling without.

@all

Since I am getting some fantastic feedback here, what about windowable TV software with WORKING closed caption support and recording capability?
