pretty installation and a nice interface cannot possibly be the only or even main criteria when evaluating a server.
SuSE is much heavier than other industry recognized server distros, it has quite a few stability issues. My previous company used to ship some of its products based on SuSE 9.3 which they purchased for the cause. At some point I came in, had a look at it and showed them CentOS 4.2 and Debian 3.1
After thorough testing the performance of the SuSE server was about 30% lower than that of CentOS and 34% lower than that of Debian. We still chose CentOS since it was after all an industry standard RHEL clone.
The server was running LAMP+Tomcat and was used as a very heavyweight web based file storage meaning loads of HTTP and FTP multi-terabyte transfers.

actually thinking about it, i had a problem with sled 10 Beta 8, the installer was broken in that one, but 10.1 and 10.2 worked for me pretty good.

yeah, the installer + the updater are major issues for suse. Novell borked it when they tried to make it integrate with zenworks. All the zeniness is gone in 10.3 and theyve reverted to a more sensible packagaing system
