SUSE uses Redhat-style packages (RPM). Aside from that I don't think it's
based on any Redhat (as, for example, Mandrake originally was on RH 5.1).

 From what I've heard (never having used SUSE myself), it's much more
popular in Europe than in Australia or the US. My general impression is
that it's a very reliable, solid distro with a good track record
(security-wise, probably better than Redhat's - not that anything could be
much worse :) that's been around a long time.

Certainly worth a try if you like experimenting with different distros.
But of course if you're willing to consider trying a non-Redhattish distro,
you might as well go the whole hog and try Debian :).

Pete, Debian drone #28787384.

PS. Who me? Distro-biased? Never...
