While I was at EDS, we supported both Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server systems on Intel/AMD. The team was far more familiar with RHEL than SLES. We managed quite well. I think any sysadmins will have far more difficulty adapting to the differences between midrange and mainframe Linux, and the use of z/VM, than between distributions. And, while there is some adjustment for that, I don't think it's extreme. I've even had some people comment to me that they like YaST, and wish Red Hat had a similar "one place to go to" for administration functions. It basically boils down to whether you have system administrators that are willing and eager to learn new things or not. My team was, and just went with the flow. Others aren't, and prefer to swim upstream and possibly drown.
