3.4.2. We're kept supplied with both bug fixes and security updates as 
well as entire upgrades to new releases. The former are part of 
SuSE-supplied support, the latter are supplied by third parties on an 
as-is, at-your-own-risk basis.

Reiser is the default. Many are available, including the one I choose, 
for my primary file systems, XFS.

Some may. For the most part, if their dependencies are met, you stand a 
fair chance, but there can still be conflicts in some cases if the 
dependent packages are not configured compatibly.

The SuSE-Linux-E mailing list. We're all really smart, friendly, 
tolerant and cheery folks over there...

It has excellent stability, as we've come to expect from SuSE.

You would choose the commercial version one or more of these reasons:

1) Bigger package complement, including some very popular but non-OSS 
software, most prominently media-related software.
2) To get this software on a single dual-layer DVD.
3) To generate funds to help support continuing releases of the best 
commercially supported Linux release there is.
