I was really just after usability, stability etc. I know SUSE reasonably well and the the eye candy is great. Dont think that I want to get into VM as I dont really need it. I do need apache, PHP, mysql, ruby and rails for a project Im looking at. So any Linux variant would be OK but this is also the family PC. So its got to be pretty easy for everybody to use and have all the functions that they are used to. Windoze will do all of those but its just so poor in comparison.
