Another driving force in the choice are the applications you will be running. 
Several available products are only certified on SuSE or on RedHat. This, more 
than any other factor, may make the decision "easy".

Mel,

> I haven't tried RHEL in my environment. Should I?
As an IBMer I'm supposed to be neutral about distributions. This is easy
because I feel that both SLES and RHEL are excellent distributions (as are
Debian and Slack390 I would imagine).

Often, an enterprise will make a strategic decision to stick with one
distribution across all their platforms. If your enterprise is in the
evaluation phase, you may want to also be trying RHEL.

FWIW.
