clive... yep you are right, just got back from the gf's after being at hyde park, the foo fighters with during their encore a guest appearance by queen's brian may and their drummer (I cant remember the dudes name)
gill... umm SLED 10 - I wasn't sure what you meant to be honest at first! But then I realised it was just an abrrv. I do like SUSE, I have liked it for a while but you can't boot it from a cd as easliy as ubuntu, you might have to install it. You, as a person, also probably wont need the enterprise version of SUSE. SUSE does look and feel a bit more windows esque but I wouldnt use that a reason to use it. One big reason why I didnt use it was you used to have to pay for it... well... but it actually cost and I didnt like that idea. I just noticed you can get a live dvd version. I think you will probably get on with this better than ubuntun, in a sense it is more like what you will be used to but it does somewhat hide some of the nice cool features of a good linux distribution. In short, give it a go, worth a shot. In the end you will find one you particularly like and stay with it... or you wont and you will use multiple ones. I vary between, ubuntu, kubuntu, fedora and straight Debian. Hope this is of help.
