I decided that openSUSE makes the most sense for my Linux use profile last Monday. Extremely fresh packages, an intelligent community, a very complete featureset, and (this is where I would get flamed if anyone read this blog) a supporting company which is willing to explore interoperability frontiers.

Without getting into the issue of the Microsoft deal (yet!), I do find it interesting to see boundaries explored thus. The open source community can be quite orthodox about matters philosophical (and that isn't always a bad thing, just as making a ruckus can be a good thing too).
