In the same boat here...... we had customers who had support contracts with Redhat until they were abandoned, and now we are steadily moving all of those customers to Suse, typically SLES.
I don't understand the statement that RedHat is still the flavor of choice in the U.S. That may have been the case in the past, but I don't think it's true anymore.
Here the Red Hat fans have mostly gone to Debian. There was some interest in SUSE until one of our "hotshots" flubbed a net install of SUSE at a LUG meeting. They refuse to buy the distros. Or even show someone how to install from the CD's. Our attendance at the meetings is steadily dropping and there is a tremendous amount of resistance to change. If it isn't old traditional Unix - it isn't accepted. Rich -- Rich Matson Reno, Nv. USA
