I use it. Selected it years ago. At the time one of its main features 
was that it packaged a large number of applications, it came in 4 or 5 
CDs, unlike 1 or 2 CDs for other distros.

Suse comes in two flavors, personal and professional. The pro version 
comes with 7 CD and a DVD which has the contents of all the CDs. Comes 
with pakages for setting web/mail/nfs/etc. servers, desktop, software 
development, good printed manuals, etc., etc.  The personal version has 
less software and is meant for a desktop user.

Don't know of many people using it here, most people use RH, Mandrake or 
Debian.

It's extremely stable, is well integrated, no nonsense developers, very 
useful mailing list and other benefits I can think of and I take for 
granted. It releases about twice a year.
