I also tried GeckoLinux (on Hyper-V).  Installed ok, and running ok. 
But, I can't figure out how to do 'zypper dup' via GUI.  It has "yast2" 
GUI, but there is no "update" or anything related.  It could just be KDE 
issue.

But, font choices are better than stock OpenSUSE, and probably better 
than other distros.  OpenSUSE variants are ok, but I think I would be 
going through the same learning curve that I already went with Ubuntu 
and Redhat variants.  Not very seductive...
