I don't know whether it's OT, but I'm also interesting in it. We move from RedHat to SuSe (and I'm not speaking about the entreprise version) when RedHat decided to give up with the redhat "for-the-public" version and launched the fedora project: fedora was to new and 6 months is too short for us as a release cycle. SuSe was the distribution with a free-of-charge version plus an entreprise version when support and certification were importants. Also we are novell client and will surely move the novell services on linux: we could have "one" unique distribution for everything using both professional and entreprise version. Those are not really "technical" considerations. The only technical thing is that I never had a "depedency" problem using yast (and for this reason never feel the need to use apt-get :-) for the last 4 years, i.e since I started putting suse on the servers. With RH, I remember various cross depencies problem and, starting from RH8, some crash from time to time of the rpm tool that required the deletion of some files and the rebuild of the database nothing else unfortunately Gaël "L.

Our local LUG is having a panel presentation (friendly debate) on SuSE vs. RH vs. BSD.
I've been volunteered to be the SuSE presenter. I feel I've got good ammunition regarding SuSE's strong points and BSD's weak points, all based on personal experiences.
But I really have next to no experience with RedHat.
So, I'm looking for technical areas where I can contrast SuSE against RH. If anyone has migrated from RH to SuSE, it would be nice to know what drove that decision for example (movement in the opposite direction is also of interest!).
If your response would help other SuSE users, please reply to the list. If your response is truly OT for this list, feel free to reply to my email address directly.
Thanks! Mark -- _________________________________________________________ A Message From... L. Mark Stone
