I believe it is now a Gnome distro (mainly), but I just had a quick look and see they have a KDE version too. Any suggestion on which to choose?
You have several Desktop choices out of the Box: KDE, Gnome and some small ones. I use KDE on the Workstations and just "init 3" in the servers (sometimes attaching graphically via NX)
Is Suse deb or rpm based?
RPM
Does it have normal run-levels defined?
you have B (boot), 1(single user) , 2 (multi user), 3 (multi-user with network), 5 multi-user with network and GUI, and 6 (shutdown)
Since yesterday I happily run
Debian on an old small Slug to have it work as a NAS.

That's what made me think that I must maybe try Debian directly. I quite like deb packages and the apt system (and use AptOnCD a lot), and got used to the Debian filesystem layout/design from working with Ubuntu. But lately Ubuntu seems to be going off it's rockers.
I of course did use apt to install and upgrade the system, but I only followed the instructions I found. The file system layout seem quite similar with Suse and Debian.Debian is lacking the rcxxx scripts pointing to /etc/init.d/xxx, but you can easily create them or just go "/etc/init.d/xxx"instead. The run level scrips in /etc/init.d/xx scripts themselves seem to work quite similar.
