Cuz, while many of the people on this list are hobbyist and individual/personal users (and thus in no position to respond), perhaps SOME are actually working for sizeable companies that actually make significant use of SUSE (assuming that such exist).

Though not "sizable" in terms of total number of servers, my last company had 12 production SLES servers running in addition to the SLES partition on the mainframe. They had thought of RHE but decided on SLES because of the price and the support from IBM on the mainframe. Of course, that paled in comparison to the several hundred Windows 2000 and 2003 Workstations serving apps and files. HTH! <snip> -- kai
