Amen Fred. After being wholly dissapointed with Mandrake 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 for that exact reason. I was thrilled with Suse 8.2 and 9.0. The jury is still out on 9.1 for reasons you describe. 9.2 needs to be bulletproof from a server standpoint. I look to move my production system to 9.2 after the list settles down regarding little glitches. Keep stability in mind! My Mandrake 7.2 box is getting very old.
Wouldn't it make sense too run server systems on the SERVER version of SUSE? The price isn't exactly expensive, the Desktop version of RedHat costs about the same as a standard SUSE Server. I'd buy it but I don't run actual servers here, just FTP and Apache and SSH for me and sometimes friends.

Why is SUSE going to use the 2.6.8 kernel?! The reports on 2.6.8 AREN'T good!!
Have you forgotten that SUSE employs a number of kernel hackers? This isn't the vanilla 2.6.8!
Why not 2.6.7....it was stable?!
And have a vast number of people bashing SUSE because of an "ancient" kernel?
I wouldn't!! STABILITY my friend - that IS what most of us want and MUST have! I don't need grief, like we have now, for example getting XCDRoast to allow users to burn a CD, and getting a number of hardware to work properly. I'm not picking on SUSE, you should know that by now.
