Greetings everyone,
I'm doing a short little presentation (on behalf of our Linux user's group) on SuSE Linux to a local Unix Users Group.
I'm looking for points specific to SuSE that might be of interest to Unix (Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, BSD, etc.) users.
In your replies, please consider me relatively novice in most regards. I've dabbled a bit with OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Solaris. I've been a SuSE user for about 6 happy months now (and not turning back), and have used Linux for about 2-3 years now.
If you have any ideas for good points to mention, please fire them off.

To me as an AIX and HP-UX user, the most interesting thing about SuSE over other Linuxes is the fact that the logical volume manager is available during the install, and that it works very well. The Linux LVM is almost identical to the HP-UX system in terms of commands you run, functionality, etc, and is pretty similar to the AIX system. Also, the latest 2.4 kernels support the AIX JFS filesystem, though why you would want this over reiserfs I have no idea :) Ewan
