...Been doing fine with SUSE 8.1 since 2003. I have recooted the machine a
few hours ago, after 70+ days of uptime (since that July outage). SUSE has
been mature for a long, long time. Wait until 10.2 is finally shipped. It's
like free SLED 10.2, minus the stuff that needs 'hacking' (the equivalent of
Automatix or EasyUbuntu).
Best wishes,
Roy
