OpenSUSE 11.2: My best Linux experience by far.

Over the years I have been through a few different Linux distributions.  I ran Mandrake (hey, I was really a n00b) for a bit.  Then I caught the Gentoo bug (no, I was not a ricer, but I did really like their helpful forums and wiki pages) and did that for quite a few years.  Then something went wrong with my system, and I lost the drive.  I didn't have time to fiddle with restoring everything, so I slapped Fedora 11 on it.  It was the Fedora install that got me thinking that I kind of enjoyed it when everything seemed to work, right out of the box.   In fact, I was so pleased with the way it all worked so well, that I installed it on both of my computers.  I liked the fact that I didn't have to spend hours trying to make things work.  Someone once said, "Linux is only free if your time is worth nothing."
