I am in the middle of installing Debian on an HP machine (thanks Nick) and
am not sure if I 'like' Debian yet.

SuSE is a tad heavy, I also suspect it is really targeted toward the Ultra
SParc's more than non-Ultra. But I will say it was a sweet rock solid OS on
my AXi and Nutsrape rarely crashed (amazing!!)
