Also, any group, be it a sporting team, a tribe, a town, or a
nation all hype themselves up to be Number One. It's probably
a genetic thing. The US is so routinely bashed for everything
it does, and is, including bashing done by its own citizens and
media, that they've grown quite used to it. Would that the
current wave of illegal immigrants believe the left-biased
accounts of the US and stay home!
Now, why can't this discussion be dropped? It's discourteous to
our list host and doesn't serve any purpose. Why not discuss
how Linux and SuSE are "Number One"?!
SuSE content: I have a "dedicated host" running SuSE 9.1 that
serves web pages and mailing lists. Since support for 9.1 ends
this month I'm going to have to move to a new host, upgrading
is not economically feasible in this case. I found a new
provider who will install any Linux distro that's available
as an ISO. I'm comfortable with 10.0, having installed it
on servers and desktops, but I'm not sure about 10.1. What
to you folks think? This would be installed on a host where
I don't have console access. Security updating is an important
requirement, I don't want to have to maintain all the packages
independently. 10.0 or 10.1? Final answer?

People envy the US for its wealthy and prosperity.
How deluded you truly are, mostly the rest of world are rather bemused why so many Americans keep buying in to this "we are number one!" crap.
