I've had a very good experience with Ubuntu.  I can't really compare it to anything else, because it is the only distro that I've ever used for very long.  As you know, Ubuntu/Kubundu decision is based on your preference for Gnome/KDE respectively.  The desktop CDs for both of these distros can boot right from the CD into a fully functional system.  I recommend you burn a CD and take it for a test drive.

Hi all:</font><font size="3"> <br>
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><br>
The last Suse Linux software I purchased for laptop use was Suse Linux
Professional 9.2. &nbsp;Looking now to upgrade to 10. &nbsp;Anyone know
the latest Suse release for desktop use? &nbsp;And I don&#39;t think they call
it &quot;Suse Linux Professional&quot; anymore. &nbsp;And did Suse ever
solve that Yast slowness problem (at least I think it was something like
that).</font><font size="3"> <br>
