What I'm curious about is what other SuSE users on this list use SuSE for. How many of yas out there use it for development of any sort in a commercial environment? In 9 out of 10 places I see Red Hat being used and that does evil things to my gut. I personally started off w/ Slackware in the early days (1994), tried Red Hat for literally a day, and have been with SuSE -- using it for development -- for nearly two years.
I started using a version of Slackware that came with a book that was on a clearance shelf in 1997, but the version was several years out of date and so useless that I never really got past the installation stage. Eventually, I moved to SuSE (5.3/6.1/6.3) since the price was more stable and consistently lower than Red Hat, and I have read great things about X-Servers that SuSE puts more effort into. The email list happens to be the most friendliest group of all the other email lists that I skimmed before selecting SuSE. Currently, I have a dedicated file/network server box that I usally telnet into from my Windows machine, and very rarely ever use the KDE window manager when I do switch over the keyboard and monitor. I'm planning to add another hard drive to my Windows system to run a full blown Linux partition with all the bells-and-whistles and KDE. I usually crash my server if I try to do anything fancy with KDE, and I might switch to something different for my server that's more light weight. I'm using my server and the network to better understand network stuff and to further help my MSCE studies.
