No thanks.  I don't mind the learning experience, and the
last time I tried SuSE I found the configuration stuff
confusing as hell.

I did try out Xandros, tho.  It also ran on my laptop
out-of-the-box, and is Debian-based.  The only reason I went
back to "real" Debian is that I had some trouble playing
with the new kernels (Xandros has a complex initrd-based
scheme I didn't quite grok).

Maybe it's just me.
