I've just changed over.
I generally like SuSE, although that is more from a server side
preference.
But as we had it lying around, I installed 7.1
Lovely.
My main problem was a mail client.
Couldnt find anything I liked.

I've ended up installing Ximian Gnome to get Evolution.
Not as full featured as I like (I've been utterly spoiled by using The
Bat under Windows for ages now :) but it is only a Beta.

I can limp through on this for a while.
