Thx for all the feedback. Clouds are slowly clearing. Universal opinions are 3 distros: OpenSUSE Fedora LinuxMint (based on Fedora) How different is Fedora from LinuxMint or what is advisable or advantanges Vs disadvantages between the 2.
From here onwards, I will be able to cut-down to just 2 distros; one based
on SUSE (openSUSE) and one based on Fedora (LinuxMint OR Fedora). Please send in your feedback. Thx Sandeep
