Mandrake is clearly the most impressive, but also the most flawed
that I've tried. Too many new things that make it unstable, I guess.
After about a week, I gave up on it and re-installed SuSE.
Some of SuSE's KDE software seems to be "beta", but overall, 
the concept is great. The installation is reasonable painless, 
but not as easy or as fast as Mandrake.

I've still got 4.0 Slackware to try, but I'm putting that off until 
SuSE gives me a reason to do so.
