I would recommend SuSE over Mandrake 8.1 and Debian 2.3 (potatoe?), the only
other distros I've tried. Here is how I rate them after installing Linux on an
oddly configured PIII, dual booting Winblows. BTW, I have only been using Linux
for a couple months.
Stability: Debian (good), Mandrake (poor), SuSE (great)
Works Right out of the Box: Debian (good), Mandrake (horrible), SuSE (almost
perfect)
Easy of Use/Installation: Debian (poor, for newbies), Mandrake (good), SuSE
(great)
My only problem with installing and running SuSE 7.3 was getting my TV card
configured (something you probably will not have to deal with in a small
business I hope). I also ran into some bizarre behavior playing around with
SaX2, but I think it was my own fault.
Best of luck,
Josh

After weeks of fighting with RedHat 7.2, I am going out and getting another
distro that doesn't take weeks to get working correctly.
Have any of you (who are a regular Linux user) been happy with 7.3?
I have to run a small business accounting package on it, and I really don't
have time if it isn't working well.
