Don't forget the file size limitations in the PE version.

No one said they *were* going to use PE commercially! <g> Short answer: While you could probably compile PE to run under SuSE as a Proof of Concept that it *would* run, IBM does not offer any of their commercial versions under this version of Linux except for SuSE 7.0 for the S/390 - zSeries... But, as you said this was a 20 user site doesn't sound like an S/390 site to me!! And you want 9.2 to boot!! While you MIGHT be able to get a RH-Linux version to run under SuSE, or even the SuSE 7.0 for S/390-zSeries version to run, you'd likely be on your own from a support stand point - totally - not a sweet place to be if there were ever changes along the way in the underlying Kernel or utilized components. Or the first time you had a kernel panic and needed help, you'd be turned away. It would be a 'never say never' issue, but I don't see IBM adding more SUSE support without prodding since RedHat is doing so well everywhere. But I could be wrong! I thought New Coke was a good idea. (kidding). I would take your issue to IBM - if the market you are reviewing is strong, and the changes are limited, they may be willing to take the time to certify SuSE - right now, SuSE is **the** Linux outside the U.S. - so it's worth asking them. Worst case, they say 'Get Lost' - you're no worse off!
