     RedHat is the best disro i have tried personally, 6.1 has a nice X
     installation that also allows upgrade. I have recomended it to a lot
     of my mates who loved it. SuSE is WAY too big for my liking a max
     install took over 2GB, if you have the space to burn then great.... if
     not, forget it....
