6:15 PM EDT 		I don't mind when someone tells me that he thinks candidate A, B, C, & D are obvious candidates for a new users consideration and then continues on to do a serious comparison of the pertinent features. That is legit.

Nor do I mind if someone just lists the top 7 Distros from Distrowatch, though why you would do that without a serious comparison of features I can't comprehend.

It would appear that Bryan wants to point new users toward Distros which will work for them, but, I do not think that Suse professional or even Debian are good choices for any first time user. It's like he went down a list and arbitrarily checked off a few. So with arbitrary choices and no real in depth comparisons what is the point of the article?

Starting with SuseLite then go on to Suse Professional is ideal. OpenSuse is taking care of the issues I thought Suse Pro. has (mainly multimedia and not having Synaptics).
