Well, package management on OpenSuse was a pain in the neck. Just to
mention two points:
* It was a HPC-cluster that I was administrating. Normal updating of
packages was a lot slower than on Debian servers.
* The availability of specialised packages was also a pain. Many times
we had to build packages specially that was not available in the normal
repositories while on Debian Servers I could only do 'apt-get
install'
I do not like Ubuntu very much. I use Debian on desktop and on servers.
My experience of rpm-based systems (I also worked with Redhat many
years ago) was never pleasant. That is the main reason for my remark
above.

Johann
