[ale] redhat vs. suse

[Geoffrey]

They are both rpm based.  Red Hat installs 386 based binaries, in that 
they are targeted for a safer build.  SuSE installs 586/686 (can't 
remember which), which to me, seem to run faster.

SuSE 8.1 has a very slick install interface, although I've heard 
rumblings from others regarding problems with unique file system 
configurations.  I've seem similar issues, but at the time, I thought 
the problem was hardware, so I can't validate those claims.

On the other hand, a stock SuSE 8.1 install is very fast and slick.

You must buy SuSE 8.1, it is not available for download as is Red Hat 
and the other distributions.

SuSE is the leading Linux vendor in Europe, much like Red Hat here in 
the States.
