Nothing (IMHO) does it as well as SUSE - it's stable, secure, feature rich, easy to configure (also allowing total freedom to go as deep as you wish) and highly customisable.

I should join the SuSE sales team

you and me both! i love suse, have used netbsd, turbo linux and some other varied variants and none have pleased me more than suse.

I just checked out that Libranet website, the screen shots do show a very nice windows-like interface. Does SUSE have anything like that?

yes it does. right out of the box the KDE setup is easy to use. (cant comment on gnome as i dont use it)

and about suse not being good for a busy server, thats just bull. you can configure the system however you want, and itll run flawlessly.

Code:

joe@farragutmarine:/home/joe
$> uptime
  7:43pm  up 203 days,  1:17,  2 users,  load average: 8.08, 8.02, 8.01
joe@farragutmarine:/home/joe
$>

thats my email, web, ssh and other services server.

and it DOES carry a little bit of a load average. its not like a system thats flat zero all day.

that is running suse 8.1, on my desktop i am running 8.2 and will soon upgrade to 9. whatever it is now as soon as i have some more time for computers.
