I use Debian for the packet switches, I have not had that much time
to continue it, I use SuSE because we use it at the office and it is
either that or Windows (yech!) and it has done a pretty good job so
far. I hope that SuSE/Novell is just going through a stage and they
get it settled down.
I need to get some time somewhere and test some of the other
distros, I used to use a lot of Red Hat, as we used it at my previous
place of work.
So many distros and so little time.... B-[
