Among the things I did like about Novell's version of Linux is the Gnome main menu they use, called slab. It provides easy access to the most important things you expect of a main menu, but it's not as bloated as other menus like Gimmie.
Well, what better than to show a screenshot of it, no?
If you want to try it out, you just have to:
sudo aptitude install gnome-main-menu
