two version of linux

[kenmasters1007]

Hi all I just wanted to get your thoughts on two Linux distros. I am new to linux. The first is open suse 12.1. I do know that it is a personal preferance. The second is Mandriva one 2001. What do you guys think of these distros?
Thank you for your input

If you are thinking about Mandriva, you might also want to look at Mageia. I used Suse faithfully till they became beholden to M$.Would not touch i now. Give me Redhat anyday.

Thanks for the input I will be looking into Megia . I tryed red hat and fedora too. Liked both but keeping up a multi boot system is a royal pain. Thanks again!!!
