Why install a lesser operating system (Ubuntu) than the one you already have installed (SuSE)?
Please rethink and repost your objection. *Both* OS' are Linux.
Am I to understand you think all Linux distributions are equal? None is lesser than another?

Linux is Linux, but what makes the differance IMHO is what the devleopers put into it to make it user friendly, functional,and fun.
I find switching between different distros frustrating as it can get confusing with each version doing things differently. I've got platforms at work that I'm expected to look after that have combinations of Suse, Fedora, CentOS and Ubuntu with a spattering of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Gentoo, Slackware & MS Windows for good measure, managing them is a nightmare! There's nothing Ubuntu can do that Suse can't and vice versa it's the way it goes about doing it that creates the distinction and thus the preference. I've always found Suse the easiest to use and most consistant, it's never let me down in anyway that another distro would be preferable. It's frustrating when having a problem on a Ubuntu box and having to look on the internet to see how to resolve it when had it been running Suse I'd have fixed it straight away. I often encounter a load of enthusiasm for Ubuntu (and the exact opposite for Suse) never understand why! Often hear criticisms of Suse that aren't true, wonder why if it has an image problem?
