There are many of use currently using Redhat 9 that are in the market for a new Desktop OS. The two that I am strongly considering at this venture are Mandrake and SUSE. They both have a few things going for them: no broken’ass KDE version installed; mp3 support out-o-da-box; and they have not abadoned the desktop community!
Here is a review (read the comments too, they have some nice mandrake tips) of Mandrake’s newest desktop OS.
In addition here is a quick review of SUSE’s latest Linux offering. The reviewer also makes a point I have been making for a long while. The question is not IF Linux is ready for the desktop… the question is WHICH desktops are ready for Linux?
