I've used SuSE before. Commercial, not OpenSuSE. It was quite a few years ago. Paid for upgrades every year or so. This was before I had a satellite ISP. Updates via dial-up could disconnect at the most inconvenient of moments leaving you with an RPM set half applied and no method of recovery. SuSE 11.1 is pretty sweet, both on my workstation and my laptop. I can use it all day without it crashing working on multiple documents > 800 pages each. After the last round of kernel updates from Ubuntu I was crashing 3-5 times per day.
