I’ve been using SUSE since the 9.1 version, and I still can’t find a better alternative. {K}ubuntu? nah, it sucks in text-mode. Well, package management (with Yast) used to be slow on SUSE, but the overall style and efficiency of the distro makes it my No.1 Desktop OS; and will upgrade to 11.0 in a couple of days. Keep it up SUSE!

a) Linux is relevant to lots of hackers
b) As nice as Suse etc. may be, they still use RPM, which is inferior to the apt-get system. This *may* have improved in the last years, I haven't been folowing those developments as I'm happy with deb.

A) this is not a hack.
B) SUSE has caused woe in the past… it will need to fight hard to win any points with the past frustrated.

I actually bought SuSE 7.2 and 8.0 Pro back when Futureshop (Canadian Best Buy) used to sell it. I really liked the distro back then, but had such a hard time with RPM hell that I eventually moved to Gentoo and now debian because package management on the two distros are so much cleaner.
