I have been using SuSE for a few years and really like it. I moved away to Mandrake for a little while, because the GUI tools were really nice and I was getting lazy, but they worked out the bugs in YAST2 in 7.3 and that is what I run on my server now.
YAST2 is great! It gives a nice GUI to do almost everything on the system. Plus it has an almost identical command line interface to do all the same stuff. I have no monitor connected to my server so I ssh in run YAST2 at the command line and I can do everything. The command line use of the grafical config tool is what puts SuSE over the top for me. The only problem is that YAST2 modifies a file with about a 1000 variables! SuSE then has several scripts that use that file to modily every config file on the system. SO if you manually edit some config file and then run YAST2, it wil over write your changes, most of the time. It has given me a few warnings in 7.3 that a file has been manually edited and saves the manual version before writing its changes. All in all I really like SuSE.
