I've tried several, and hated most of them.  Some I couldn't even get to
install, probably because I don't know much about Linux.  I did get SUSE
10.3 to install.  It's running beside my principal, eCS, system.  I use it
to run VirtualBox and a Lightscribe application to burn labels on DVDs. 
For Linux, it's pretty good.  10.3 is not the latest version.  I installed
11.0, which I didn't like at all, and reverted to 10.3 before 11.1 was
released.  Maybe a later version will suit you better.
