If you REALLY want to dive into and fully understand and learn Linux AND get the MOST out of it use Arch Linux.

It's not as easy because you do things manually when you install it but you learn a lot of important things about Linux and how it works.

AS for OpenSUSE I don't really like RedHat based distros which OpenSUSE is. Prefer either Debian based ones like Ubuntu or from scratch ones like Arch Linux.

arch linux is for nerds ... wouldnt suggest that for starters.. i havent bothered trying it because i dont like command lines and hassle to get it running, graphical systems that are fast to install is what i go for

ubuntu is the ultimate noob system .. mint if you arent that fixed on eyecandy and want a fast system thats easy to use.. opensuse if you have some understanding of linux and like eyecandy ..

then theres prob hundreds of other distros of all flavours, but those 3 basically covers all sorts of languages and are easiest to find info for

Well yes Arch Linux is for those who want to take control of their OS

If you don't want to learn your OS and just use it to check email etc. etc. then Ubuntu, Linux Mint, OpenSUSE, Mageia are good choices in that order

i guess most want that when they try a new operative system .. they dont want to sit for a week and learn command lines before they figure out how to run firefox
