I have SuSE 7.2, proffessional Box set, and I've never
had any problems with it before. It's running as
webserver on one machine, and router on another. I've
only had it go down once, but that was because of a
brownout, and I havent got a UPS yet (oops!). But then
again I run my router and webserver through the
console, and just VNC to them through my main
workstation.

I wouldnt touch Mandrake with a 20ft pole, but that's
really because of principal, as they are going the
same way as DeadRat.
