Hi all, I know many people consider this to be a personal choice, but I'd like to hear people's opinions! I'm setting up a system for a family friend, and decided to use Ubuntu as it's reputation for "just working" is very strong. Unfortunately, the wireless connection seemed a bit sketchy on it (atheros chip, madwifi), so I thought rather than play around with it, I would try openSUSE 10.2. The wifi works brilliantly on openSUSE, and I love the system as a whole - amazingly well polished (+ slab is brilliant :D), but almost immediately after I was running it for the first time it slowed up massively. Applications now take an age to load, but once loaded are quite snappy. I've tried all sorts to fix this, as I loved the distribution so much, but no luck :( Usually I use Fedora, but I'm reluctant to put this on as lately I've been disappointed with a few updates having regressions, and after using openSUSE, the lack of polish! So, recommendations for a distro along the lines of openSUSE? i.e. works out of the box, no fuss, and is very well presented? I think I'm going to switch my own systems at some point too.
