Thanks for everyone's insights and opinions with added humour to boot.
Much appreciated.
I am leaning toward SUSE 9.1

IMO... it's the most supported, most current, most user friendly and
things just generally work on it (as far as linux goes). Don't let
Alan mislead you into thinking that gentoo is easy by any stretch of
the word. It's very stable when you get it up and running correctly
because you basically have to compile things from scratch with it.
It's a bitch to get up correctly... *read: drivers* trust me.
In case you didn't know Fedora is the newest version of redhat.

Take care
p.s. Nothing personal Alan but I wipe my butt with the gentoo documentation :)

It's the first linux I've put on my laptop - first linux I've used for
more than a couple of weeks and while I will agree that it's initial
setup isn't as simple as others. Once you have the base system up and
running maintaining and upgrading it is much simpler than the
alternatives I've experienced.
Plus the knowledge you gain from understanding a bit behind how it all

It's very user friendly and it just works.

Personally suse 9.1 is my favourite user-friendly linux distro, but when
you talk distros you'll hear atrociously conflicting opinions about all
of them.

Just bought a new Opteron system and would like to try Linux on it with
XSI. I would like some advice on what flavour of Linux I should install.
Thanks,
