I want to install Linux. Can anyone tell me which is most easy among opensuse11 and Ubuntu.

[MeTh0Dz]

This question sucks.

[gamiR]

then what do you think?

[zeroradius]

I have ubuntu but don't use it that much. Acording to the members on this forum when I asked they said Ubuntu is the easiest one to use

[MeTh0Dz]

It sucks because this is something you need to just try for yourself. It depends on the person and his or her competence.

I like Ubuntu, I've never tried openSUSE, so if you give it a go, tell me what you think.

Between the 2, I'm a ubuntu fan.

Which has good Desktop effects among these two?

I can't stand Ubuntu as a Desktop and I really dislike the gnome environment compared against KDE (gnome is default on Ubuntu). My vote goes for openSuSe.

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

will install the KDE version of Ubuntu.

I've never used openSuSe, but I would assume they have the same effects as they both are capable of running gnome/kde and beryl.

Desktop effects are rendered through third party packages like compiz fusion. Generally, the better your graphics card, the more likely you will be able to install compiz and get the cool effects.

I have made my ubuntu look exactly like mac osx, and I love using it now!

The only unfortunate side effect of making your desktop look like Mac OS X, is that it uses 300mb of memory while idling.
