FWIW I've just installed SuSE 10.0 and 10.1 and found the installs went 
without a hitch, correctly identifying hardware (IBM boxes; an older 
desktop and an Intellistation M-Pro) automount USB drive, blah, 
blah.   Also did an Ubuntu 6.06 install which also went smoothly but failed 
to automount the USB drive for some reason.

Updates on both were painless.   Must admit still to a liking for Debian / 
Ubuntu / whatever's apt-get but the SuSE offering comes quite close.   Yes, 
I'm impressed too with what Novell / SuSE have done.

One point in question re SuSE is a "distro upgrade".   In Debian-ese this 
is as easy as apt-get dist-upgrade but has anyone found out how to take, 
for example, SuSE 10.0 to 10.1 in the same vein?
