Personally, I would say Debian every time, but it is horses for courses. I started on SuSE. I stuck it for a while, and then could take it no longer. I actually loathed YaST (the package manager). I then, more recently, used it for my granddaughter's laptop. I still dislike it. I moved on to Libranet, a super distro, based on Debian. It actually used Debian Sarge repositories (software "warehouses".) So I simply went on using it until Sarge became obsolete. The I moved onto Debian proper. That was some years ago. I still love it and find it simple to run - until I try to do something obscure. ;-) Contrary to what you will hear, Debian is now very simple to install, if oyu just want to plug and play. you can use the defaults all teh way to a functioning distro. You then have the choice of stopping tehre, or moving on. Debian will be great for either. I am on the Debian list because I use - and love - Debian, not on Debian because I use the list. You would get different answers on the SuSE list. As I said, it is horses for courses. We are all different and we like different things!
