I haven't spent enough time looking at SuSE to know about that. Fedora is a sort of the Samsara of GNU/Linux distros, the never ending cycle of loosing support and having to do a major upgrade. But if one is doing SuSE upgrades all the time similar to a Fedora Core 3 to 4 update, I don't want that distro either. There is nothing like Debian Stable for a server, major updates are years apart. Back pached security fixes so new holes are rearly introduced. Not good for a deskdop where you want the latest bell and whistles though. But it took Gentoo to make gcc a screen saver. :) “updates all the time” is a part of the problem with Fedora.
