I've been using Suse since about 9.1.  Since then, Novell has taken over
and they've struck a deal with MicroShaft.  I've seen quite a few
references on this list of folks using ubuntu.  The main reasons I've
stuck with Suse is
    o ease of installation.  (boot from mini CD, network install)
    o fairly user friendly (non-bit-head computer users in the immediate
vicinity)
    o Updates are fairly easy - I mirror a suse site locally so I can
install and update without having to traverse the relatively slow DSL.

How does this stack up against ubuntu?
Does anyone have any personal reasons why they choose Ubuntu over Suse?
or Suse over Ubuntu?

I guess what I'm fishing for are a few good solid reasons for converting
 a half-dozen or so workstations and servers from Suse to ubuntu.  If
so, should I plan on a fresh install or an upgrade?

Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
    - Chuck
