I have been interested in watching the progress of S.u.S.E.

Their distributions look better (although I haven't actually installed
a full release) with each release.  Their English support appears to be
improving but still has the flavour of being written by someone who has
English as a strictly second language.  Perhaps they should have someone
who has English as their first language do an editing pass over their
documents.

For me, one of the important things about S.u.S.E. is their ethic
of returning something to the Linux developer community.  They
offer complimentary copies of their distributions to Linux
developers.  It's nice to have some tangible recognition for your
efforts.  The only other Linux supplier which I know to do this is
Caldera.
