There was a little squabble when RH tried promoting Postgres (a.k.a "Red Hat database")
but after a retaliation from Oracle, Red Hat came to its senses. Suse was merely a tool
in this squabble. It isn't big enough, software availability is so much worse then for RH and
they are trying to lock people in SuSE distribution by putting software in unusual places.
Relinking SuSE kernel was practically impossible, because of unexpected dependencies
and kernel not returning the proper version string so that OSS was unable to recognize it.
Need I say that SuSE Helpdesk was less then helpful? I ended up downloading the
regular kernel from ftp://ftp.kernel.org <ftp://ftp.kernel.org> compiling it and ditching the SuSE kernel altogether. For Thanksgiving, I'll go back to RH, now that they are using standard GNU CC again.

I heard that Oracle is shifting it's priorities from Suse toward Red Hat.
