Are you running SLED or Opensuse?
I'm running 9.3 Professional, and as you say, it's nice, stable, and KDE. And about to become obsolete, in just about 4 months. I looked at SLED as you suggested, but it appears to be GNOME based, and I don't want to go down that road. When it actually becomes obsolete, I may look at another distro. --doug
... makes a difference ... sounds like you would benefit from running SLED--- definitely. Opensuse is for those of us who don't really need the max support and are willing to play with the system a bit in order to have some of the bleeding edge revisions. There is another alternative... and that is somewhere in the middle... use an opensuse version (based on history) that is for the most part as stable as you need it to be and wait... eventually there will be another "better" opensuse, or ubuntu, or you'll opt for the next stable release of SLED. Frankly Suse 9.3 Professional has been the best out-of-box distro so far from Novell. Actually, I have had really only minor annoyances from Suse 10.0. Yeah, my kmail speaks Chinese too sometimes... but the distro for the most part has been mostly fantastic...
SLED isn't bleeding edge and is mostly as stable as the Rock of Gibralter... it doesn't bleed and it won't have the latest revisions... but it will work for ya.....
