Overall Satisfaction with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
I started using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server when Novell started to implement their products on it. Since then, I am a faithful customer. Seldom I met a Linux distribution of such a stability and a great support in the background. I never had to face any outages or interruptions. Also, the educational courses offered by SUSE are sound and extensive and keep our staff in a good position to work with SUSE. Only sometimes, when web application developers present their products to us, and need the latest packages for e.g. Python we faced problems and had to use packages from OpenSUSE - which sometimes leads to download and installation marathons for depending packages. But this got better starting SLE15.

The lack of professional support in distributions like Debian or Ubuntu were crucial for the decision using SUSE instead.
