I use Suse and can't envision what Redhat could have that Suse does not
except more books.  OTOH I can still buy boxed sets of Suse but not DR
who kicked the home user to the curb.  I use the Pro edition not
enterprise.  Looking foward to 9.3 and a new set of books.

Its my hope that when IBM buys Novell, a 3 year old rumor, it will
immediately rewrite the books and start publishing better manuals.  I
know we nixer's are all supposed to be hackers but I still prefer people
speak to geek when I want to solve a problem in a hurry.  RH is also
able to attract good third party writers and Suse could use some.
