...I sort of abandoned OpenSUSE a while ago as I grew to like apt-get.
Before openSUSE created zypper? Maybe it's time for another try.
I recently did a live-boot of it on a 1gb netbook and it seemed inordinately sluggish while other live distros were sprightlier. probably could be configured to better effect but I didn't bother.
"Live" distros are an art all their own. For this reason, I only use the original, Knoppix, when I need a live Linux.
For normal installations, openSUSE with KDE3 have always worked best for me. Now with System V init having been replaced or set for replacement, my distaste for Debian clumping of everything into only two runlevels may disappear, which in turn might lead me to a new preference.
