A post in which Novell, Suse, and openSUSE all get mentioned in the opening text blob, with openSUSE being the first word in the title of the post, and yet still no groups tag for any of the three.

I'll save you the melodrama of my growing suspicions about the LXer infrastructure's motives, and simply reiterate: something's very wrong here.
Does anyone still use SuSE or OpenSuSE? I haven't touched them for years now... since before Novell even bought them.
SLES is a very distant second in North America for corporate use behind Red Hat. In Europe SUSE is still the leader for the enterprise. So, to answer your question, yes.

Maybe you should take a look at OpenSUSE again. It's not a bad distro at all.
What Caitlyn said.

I switched to ubuntu last April, but I still manage SLES servers for a certain fortune 100 company.

I'm as creeped out as anybody about Novell's extreme coziness with microsoft, but opensuse is a decent distro. I've been looking at the opensuse 11.2 alpha releases with interest.

I'm using Open Suse at work and home.It works just fine for me.
The finder for the groups, the program used to determine it, is not the greatest and I am not perfect at catching it either..all fixed for you..
