[vox] Mandrake vs. SuSe?

[Robert G. Scofield]

I switched from Red Hat to Mandrake a couple of years ago and I really like 
Mandrake.  I use Linux like most people use Windows.  So I don't do anything 
complicated with computers, and therefore haven't had the need to learn much.  
Recently, however, I've gotten into a little problem with Mandrake over an 
order and I'm thinking about switching to SuSe.  

So does anyone have any thoughts about which is the better distro, especially 
from the point of view of a defacto newbie.

Here's an example of the types of things I'm interested in.  I subscribe to 
the kde-linux listserve and it seems that a lot of the traffic has to do with 
Red Hat users that can't get KDE working properly.  I want a KDE-friendly 
distro.

Here's another example.  Mandrake comes configured for the desktop user so I 
don't have to log in as root and type /sbin in order to shut down like I have 
to do with my Red Hat distro.  I don't want to bother with re-configuring Red 
Hat.

Thank you.
