Unfortunately, Novell's patent deal with Microsoft makes that highly
dangerous now. I used to recommend SuSE Linux, even on this list, as an
LTSP platform. Now I have to avoid SuSE like the plague. Sad, but true.
I use Kubuntu Dapper Drake on my primary desktop at work, as does my
troop. Two others in my group use Ubuntu; one uses Dapper, and the
other Edgy. It is a good distro, and I understand that Canonical offers
support similar to that of Red Hat and Novell. Furthermore, if you run
Ubuntu Dapper on Sun gear, as I do, Sun Microsystems itself apparently
plays in the Ubuntu support space now.
