Why do you include SuSe in this David?
Apparently, many of the programs they ship are not free, or so I've heard. This is done in a fairly seemless manner, supposedly, so it's not readily apparent.
Obviously, this is all second hand, please correct me if I'm wrong.

As far as I know RedHat include an non free Xserver and Realaudio server in there distribution that they sell(Not the one that you can download). That software is not free and what is bad about it. I prefere SuSE and I don't care very much if I don't have the source code for YAST(I couldn't find the source code maybe I am blind). He mentiond QT. That is not a problem for me. KDE is the first usefull desktop enviroment that I saw on UNIX that is userfriendly. QT is not GNU but I need a desktop that I can use and KDE is build on QT. Thats my opinion. They have a nice discussion on slashdot.org about free software(QT).
