If you have a positive experience then you are likely to stick with a distro. If you have problems then you are more inclined to move on unless you have developed enough loyalty to troubleshoot instead of cutting and running.
What is crazy to me is moving to an RPM distro such as openSUSE from a Debian based one. They are like night and day. There are several other good Debian based ones such as Mint, MEPIS and Debian. To switch to an RPM based distro does not make sense. He mentioned Mandriva as producing dependency problems. IMO, SUSE is the worst for this and their resolving conflicts dialogues often make things worse. Add to this the fact that SUSE and most other RPM distros have limited repositories in comparison to Debian and Ubuntu and it is a bad decision. Different strokes for different folks. I hope he stays happy. Roy Linux: Fast, friendly, flexible and ... free!
