Ok.
I use Suse. The last one I bought was 8.2 and they have a 9.0 out now that is supposed to be even better.
It's dead simple. You boot from the CD or DVD (both are supplied) and make a few simple selections. If you can install M$ products, you will have no problem with this. If you buy the package, you get installation support from Suse included in the cost. This is one of these installations that they claim is automatic, but actually, you have to push the button.
If you can screw up that installation, you shouldn't be near electrical equipment in the first place.
It has all the toys you can play with.
Have fun,
Hugh

Does SuSE 9.0 contain the 2.6 kernel?
Enquiring minds want to know...

No, it doesn't.
AFAIK, the first distro to go with 2.6 as the default kernel will be Mandrake 10.0

Why?
You can run kernels from different versions in parallel, even major versions. Just make sure you compile them against the same libraries with the same compiler.
For example, my maintenance disks are based on kernel 2.2 because it's not as fat and leaves more room for goodies.

Be aware, though...
Running 2.6 means you need minimum versions of such things as modutils if smooth sailing is to be achieved.
If you're going to add your own 2.6 kernel to a current distro, you'll have to read the documentation.

2.6 kernels
You can find a list of [link|http://www.distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20040209#1|Distributions with 2.6 kernel] at DistroWatch. The [link|http://www.distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora|Fedora Core Project] just announced beta of Core 2 with the 2.6 kernel.
Have fun,
