If your goal is ease of upgrading then go Ubuntu or Debian; they are "upgradable" in place if you do a bit of preparation (I've done this for example):<a href="http://rimuhosting.com/knowledgebase/linux/distros/dist-upgrade" target="_blank">http://rimuhosting.<u></u>com/knowledgebase/linux/<u></u>distros/dist-upgrade</a><br>

I believe openSUSE can also be upgraded in place, if the Tumbleweed repostitory is used.</blockquote><div><br>Tumbleweed is a rolling update distribution, so upgrading is ongoing.<br><br>I've upgraded an openSUSE desktop in place with zypper and it worked, but it was less mature than Debian for sure. Debian's been doing it the longest by far, so it stands to reason that they'd be the best at it. <br>
