That's right. Generally Red Hat makes a lot less trouble if you want
to walk away from the standard distribution.

No you can't! Which is IMHO another reason to stay away from their

Don't get me wrong. SuSe is quite ok, and it looks like most people
are using it, but the linux world is not turning around the SuSe hub,
it's turning around RedHat.
