I started out quite a while back with Slackware 1.0, then moved through Red Hat 5 and 6 (a couple of my co-workers bought me a red fedora as a wedding gift). Moving to Open SuSE was an offshoot of installing Novell SuSE Enterprise Server 10 at work 6 or 7 years ago.

I've found that the network installation works pretty well, but if you don't have a good, high-speed Internet connection, then fugetaboudit. Open SuSE has an updater application that works pretty well.
