I've used RedHat 6.0, Mandrake 7.0, Mandrake 7.2 (which admittedly only
stayed on the machine for a few hours because it was crap), and Debian 2.2
over the last few years.

SuSE 7.3 is reasonably, but probably the buggiest of the lot.

The 2.4.10 kernel crashes on my AL440LX motherboard on shutdown.

I've reported this to bugs@xxxxxxx, but not heard anything back yet.

There's a typo in /sbin/mk_initrd script which prevents mounting root as ext3.

Those were my main problems.

The YaST 2 installer is very robust though, although has one or two minor
bugs.

Just about all of the bugs are possible to work around though.

I think I would recommend SuSE 7.3 however.
