Trying Suse, Fedora and Ubuntu. Or should that read trying to try?

I tried to install Suse 11 a few days ago. Very pretty installer but after reboot failure to configure new user.... I could login as root and start a basic X session but not much else. Gave up.

Tried to install Fedora. Installer quite nice but not as pretty. Everything was working great until I installed the Nvidia drivers using the instructions from the Fedora FAQ. Then nothing (black screen) and couldn't seem to reverse it...

Ubuntu. Not so pretty installer but works well. Everything worked great out of the box. Installed Nvidia drivers from restricted driver management. Dual screen works great. Had to install Nvidia-settings from repo to config them the way I like. Perhaps Nvidia-settings should be installed by default when you install the driver?

Yet again Ubuntu works first time. No problems at all. Yet again Suse and Fedora don't :(.
