Thanks for the feedback Ted.

We do not intend to use linux in our desktop environment.

Although Suse support is better, they do not have a large North
American presence.  Independant Software Vendor (ISV) support is also
key, which Redhat seems to have more of ( although suse is making up
ground fast).
