Im not to sure if this is the correct place to be posting this but...
I was wondering what version of linux would be the best for me.
I would be using it for normal home use(on my laptop, which is brand
new)and also i hav GCSEs coming up so ill need it 4 them also.
I was thinking of getting SuSe
Would this be a reasonable choice

I await ur replys

Check whether your hardware is supported first on the SuSE web site.

Suse is a great distro for Laptop's (I've always had good results) and is a
good distro in general with regards to hardware compatibility, ease of use,
etc. Anything server side, I'd recommend Debian.

Maybe he did, after he enjoyed the feeling of having it up his ass,

Dear Sober,
I am using Red Hat ver 9. It installed very well, and have had no
problems with it. I would suggest the KDE environment when you set your
system up.
Good Luck

I only install Linux, to play with it, not to use it as a replacement.
