OT: Linux flavors...

I am in the process of trying to determine what flavor of Linux to use
to replace my Red Hat servers. I've tested several (White Hat, Debian,
LFS, etc.) but have not had a chance to test Suse (seeing as I can't
download a copy to try out, unless I've missed it). It seems that many
of you think highly of it, which has peeked my interest. The question I
have is which version are you all running? From the website I see:
Personal 9.1
Professional 9.1
Linux Server 8
Linux Enterprise Server 8
I am looking for "real world" input on these versions, as opposed to the
glossy details on the website. I have 10 servers that I will be loading
the os on when I decide what to go with, and 4 of them will eventually
host filePro applications. One of the things that is important to me is
the update facility for security patches. I don't always have the
opportunity to manually recompile a program the minute the patch comes
out and install it at all locations. That was one thing I liked about
Red Hat's errata/update system.
Anyway, just looking for some input from those of you that have used the
Suse products.
Thanks!
