Not as clean and fancy as Suse or OS X, but definately solid and reliable and works with every hardware combo I have tried. Not something I can say about other distro's. I don't have a dvd burner, so I relied on burning downloads to cd's. 7 cd's later, this is my only complaint. More tedious software installs than most, but kiosk is changing that.

Its the applications and device drivers that run on windows that cement its dominance. How many people would fork out hundreds of pounds for Vista if Linux ran all the software and kit they wanted to use.
