SuSE, openSUSE "SUSE 10.1 Alpha 1 was recently announced, before 10.0 was even released. All in all, not bad at all, especially for an alpha. No real stability issues were found and not really too much was broken."

Um, SUSE has a lot more officially supported packages than Ubuntu. You do know all that stuff in universe and multiverse is as 'unofficial' as the SUSE repositories you refer to, right? Just checking.

I don't use SUSE (obviously...), but from people who use it, I know most experienced SUSE users actually use apt to manage their (rpm) packages. apt has been ported to RPM more than once and works fine there. I think synaptic is available on SUSE too.

indeed........

apt was ported as apt4rpm, synaptic and aptitude were also brought across.
like you said, it does use RPM packages and RPM repositories

Yes synaptic is, and it does work quite nicely. Ideal for selectively breaking the default (safe) update policy of backports only :-)
