In the same boat here...... we had customers who had support contracts with Redhat until they were abandoned, and now we are steadily moving all of those customers to Suse, typically SLES.
I don't understand the statement that RedHat is still the flavor of choice in the U.S. That may have been the case in the past, but I don't think it's true anymore.

I also see SuSE with my customers. BUT, I'm a "Red Hat Certified Engineer" because I was offered a free week of "boot camp" if I passed the RHCT/RHCE test a year ago. I don't know if RH ended up giving the class away, or if the distributor we use paid, but my company did not have to. I think the class was $1500 or $2000 so getting it free was a big incentive. Thus my resume says "Red Hat Certified Engineer", even though I use SuSE on a far more frequent basis. SuSE/Novell really need to look at how RH is doing training/certification in the USA and step up to the plate with similar offerings.
