Hi Ken,

I was a dedicated SuSE user until about 1 year ago, when I tried Mandrake &
wouldn't use any other distro on my main box.

Incredibly easy to install, automatically selects hardware that others
don't, good support (via Mandrake Club)and the software
install/uninstall/update package is probably on a par with Debian.

It's probably a bit bloated, but that's a small price to pay.
