For the record, its SuSE (usually prononuced SU-seh or SU-say), not
Susie, or Suze.
But as Mark says, why not try Fedora while you're at it. Fedora is
Red Hat's free distro. It has it's pros as well as it's cons, but at
least if you've never used one before, it's worth trying along with
the others. If you try a bunch of them, you'll find one you really
like, and you'll learn a lot about the many different variants out
there.
Also, look at places like linux.org and distrowatch.com for links to
ISO images of various distributions. Many of them today come with
live disks, meaning you can burn the image to CD/DVD, boot from it and
run a "live" version directly from disk. That way, you can try them
out without installing on your computer.
The down side is that live distros tend to run more slowly than
installed ones, but the upside is that you can run many of them
without ever installing, and that's a big upside if you already have a
running OS on your computer that you are afraid of destroying while
you're trying these things out.
Cheers,
Jeff
