"SuSE seems to like what it has seen so far of the "holy grail"...SuSE's commitment to the, as yet, unveiled "holy grail" seems yet "another brick in the wall"... " Alternate theory: SuSE has not been a significant player in the Intel platform. Maybe in Europe, but not here in the U.S., where Red Hat and even Mandrake dominate. Also, not a significant force in workstations or "mainframes." A data point was provided by a friend of mine. She was tearing her out for a couple of weekends trying to successfully get SuSE to install properly on her laptop (a Sony, I believe). A friend of hers gave her Mandrake to try: it installed flawlessly and was intelligent (Mac like) in the way it automatically configured the WiFi cards and drivers that SuSE had been choking on. So, for her, and for several other of my friends, SuSE is way down on the list of Linux options. --Tim May
