@antony:I think if ur like me who doesnot care much for eyecandy,try Debian Lenny or sid man!it works like a charm.with suse,the updates and package management sucks esp yast can be unpredictable sometimes;i meant it fails to recognize and configure options which it dont know!
also Debian/Ubuntu gets the best community support which suse never have!
