Well, I switched to SUSE on my personal laptop about 2 months ago, because my employer was forcing me to use it at work. May be moving on though, so I will be going back to Slackware ASAP.
SUSE was kind of a neat toy for the first few weeks, as most people say, because it just "works" out of the box. Unfortunately, I don't like giving up control. Fighting with YAST after modifying config files by hand is just way too much of a hassle. (Same reason I've debated trying Mac but probably won't)
OK all you new linux gurus, time to take control of these boxes now that you've wrested them from the evil clutches of Redmond!
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.xx
# cp .config /home/username/config.old
# makemenu config
Now start rebuilding the kernel based on what YOU want! Yeah! You'd be surprised about how much you can slim down the kernel with stuff you'll never use.
