I thought SUSE Linux was aimed at the Enthusiast and SOHO market? I use it in 
my office for my server and my desktop and laptop. On the server it is a nice 
option, but on the desktop I like the fact I can just hit the power button 
when I leave the office and it shuts down.

As you say, it needs to be easy to turn off.
