REDHAT vs SUSE *Ding-Ding

[Jeffrey O'brien]

I've been asked by a customer for some info regarding RedHat vs SUSE.  This company was told to use SUSE but can also use RedHat.  I personally, am a RedHat fan boy and haven't played with SUSE that much so my opinion is somewhat bias plus I have a preso from my RedHat rep which bashes SUSE from a business/Company side as well as a few technical reasons.  Are there any advantages of SUSE over RedHat?

So I thought I would reach out to this large Linux user base for everyone who wants to chime in on any points of why you would pick one or the other, business, partnerships, technical, supportability, reputation, viability in the enterprise, application support, which you like working with from an administrative view point, etc...  This is really open ended.

Cheers,
Jeff
