I used to use SuSE.  The last SuSE release I tried was 7.3.  It was the 
first Linux distro I ever used, and it was pretty good.  The only 
reason I switched was because I wanted to use the Planet CCRMA packages 
from Stanford (www-ccrma.stanford.edu) which are packaged for RH.  But 
in my experience SuSE is still the most loaded distro you can buy in 
box form.
