I hear just good commentaries about SUSE 10.1, but all the people who know about the software libre community are not really happy with the decisions that Novell took about the alliance with Microsoft, so, if you really want to keep using the true software libre, don´t use SUSE, use other distribution like kubuntu or the upcoming Debian Etch., But if you wanna keep using SUSE the 10.1 is a good one, very friendly like a Windows.
