3. Their packages aren't as fresh as other distros.
4. I prefer to introduce people to Linux using KDE and Kubuntu had/has issues.
5. Nearly all purchase apps are tested on Red Hat and SuSE. Other distros are hit and miss.
6. Their naming convention pisses me off. Breezy Badger? WTF? Does that come before or after Rabid Dolphin and Constipated Squirrel? Stick to the numbers, folks.
7. They've changed long-established names in their effort to Africanize their community. Or some other reason. Whatever it is, I don't want to have to re-learn terms just so I can use a distro.

Well, I have it downloaded and ready for burning to make a live cd. Problem is, I'm wondering whether I'll be lost.
I take it you'd recommend suse, for "n00bs" or beginners?
I've also heard mandravia (or mandrake linux, whatever it's called these days) is a very good beginners' distro.
What I'm asking is: Do you think Suse is the best distro to start out with?
