I adopted SuSE 6.2 as my first serious Linux platform of choice since the beginning of the century; bought all the box-sets of it through 9.3 until openSUSE 10 appeared under Novell auspices; I am currently on Tumbleweed and confess I cannot be happier than ever :)

must tell that, before the openSUSE inception, that I've tried several other distros: Mandrake, Fedora, to tell a few and of course Debian.

Indeed, I've tried Debian a few (too many) times, only to get my system utterly unusable every time, after just a few days since install and whenever tried to upgrade some latest but necessary development stuff: the dpkg/apt/deb package management and dependency resolution is/was just tyrannic and a dang horrible nightmare, especially if you want to be on the most cutting and bleeding edge of things; also tried Arch a few times, just out of a whim, but it didn't made me so confy as I am now with TW (both are so called rolling releases)...

so, in a sentence, I feel at home with openSUSE Tumbleweed; why should I change?

that's why.
cheers
