Yeah, sure, if you like draconian installs and NO documentation outside
of the internet. Lets face it: if you want a trully complete distro, you
go with SuSE. You want good customer support, you go with SuSE (in
addition to the wonderful community, of course). You want a simple
distro, you go with SuSE, and of you want something that's known for how
quickly it takes new hardware, you go with SuSE.
Now, if you want apt-get.... hey, SuSE has a version of that, too! In
short, if you need it to work and work well and consistently, you go
with SuSE.
(P.S. I could make arguments for other distros, but there's a good
reason why all the computers in my house are running SuSE... 'cause
mandrake 7.2 spewed chunks, RedHat7.0 was bug city, Corel... well, just
didn't work with my hardware, Stormix is dead, and Debian still needs to
learn that eye candy is a good thing. Then again, I might change my
mind, but hell, this is why it's fun ;).
Hands down, best out there.
