Like most of these other guys I agree....suse is not open source friendly as it should be. Hopefully Novell will change that.
HOWEVER. part of the reason many people have a problem with Redhat is they are....well, they've been called on many occasions the "Microsoft of Linux" and after having used it from 6.1 (not counting test runs going back as far as version 3) until version 8 I will NEVER go back to Redhat. Ending support for a free version (regardless if you have 40 machines on RHN) is just wrong. They were getting their money out of my arse and that biz model obviously worked.
Needless to say, I had no problems turning my back on Redhat, and it will never find it's way back into my data center.
