Yes.  That's my position too.  I have used SuSE for over 5 years and have 
tried several other distros but, for my needs and for my tastes, none have 
been as good.

That said, I am now on notice and will be watching closely and when I don't 
like what I see I'll find something else.  I have done this in the past.  I 
left Windows for OS/2.  I left OS/2 for Slackware Linux.  I left Slackware 
for Red Hat.  I left Red Hat for Debian.  And I left Debian for SuSE.  It 
will not be heartbreaking if I have to make another move but I sure hope that 
doesn't become necessary.
