Ditto. Given what you've described as being important to the distro you choose.

Look for Novell *and* IBM to offer "real" enterprise support for SuSE soon if
that's what you're looking for for those 15,000 desktops.

SuSE is also RPM-based.

SuSE also has apt4rpm and both some rpm and some apt repositories that are
increasingly popular. They tend to have more cutting edge builds and/or have
applications that for legal reasons, SuSE cannot (or chooses not to) include 
in their products for wordl-wide distribution. e.g. apps like Ogle/Okle.

SuSE has excellent GUI-based administration tools (YAST2) and up2date-like
features as well.

Check out http://www.archlug.org/kwiki/SuSEKwikis for additional resources for
SuSE with a local region focus. It's a wiki, so click the 'Edit' button and add
your own "kwikis" - for SuSE or any other distro for that matter.

See http://www.archlug.org/kwiki/ArchLUGKwiki for the "main" page with the other
distros.
