Having used K12LTSP with both RH 8 and 9 I can say that it is a big improvement over plain-vanilla RedHat Linux. RHL with Ximian also kicks up usability a few notches. SuSE 9 Pro version was touched on briefly in the article. For ease of install and overall usability from scrach SuSE 9 Pro gets my vote. That's why it's my desktop of choice these days. I just hope Novell keeps SuSE available as a retail version, with KDE as the default desktop. Grafting the Ximian desktop onto the SuSE corporate version makes a lot of sense though. Both KDE and GNOME need ways of altering default desktops easily without learning scripting. A policy-driven kmenuedit-like GUI would make administrator transistions from a Windows environment a lot easier.
