I am a FreeRADIUS developer.. I have used SuSE for 5 years. I can use SuSE but I struggle to do alot of things in Windows. I maintain the FreeRADIUS RPM spec file for SuSE Linux and frequently sync patches with the SuSE maintainer. I build SuSE rpms of FreeRADIUS for my own servers and sometimes get around to uploading them to freeradius.org My SuSE FreeRADIUS P4 servers handle up to 500 radius accounting requests per second with a Postgresql backend. RedHat annoys/confuses the hell out of me, but then I like things to just work :-) I hope that helps.. Others will probably disagree with my last statement.
