A kernel difference is really negligable. It is really easy to get a
kernel even from another distribution package (I run the Debian kernel
source on the only SuSE box I have) and compile it yourself. I *guess*
it is also easy to get a binary package from this kernel and install it
everywhere (It is trivial at least on Debian).

Well, if you look at the archives, it looks like there is as many posts
from RH guys as from SuSE guys.

Come on :) , it is trivial to get one package with the utils for
something as common...
I really have no preference for any for Redhat or SuSE, but you're being
a bit unfair.
