[SUSE] is a German LinuxDistribution that has the same sort of importance in Europe as RedHatLinux has in the rest of the world. The latest version of SUSE includes [Kernel] 2.6, [KDE], [GNOME], and has full support for the [amd64] architecture.

[SUSE] (the company) is now owned by [Novell], so expect the LinuxDistribution to either become the base of "Novell Enterprise Linux", or to gain a lot more relevance in the future as a product of its own merit, with NetWare services running on top of it. [SUSE] are putting a foot in the water by establishing [openSUSE|http://www.opensuse.org] to be a free version of [SUSE] and to act like FedoraCore is to RedHatEnterpriseLinux.
Most seasoned users find [SUSE] pretty awful as far as distributions go. Its configuration tools interfere with manual tweaking a lot of the time, and while you can ignore them and remove all the automatisms, that certainly means no less work than setting yourself up on a less "puffy" distro. The default install doesn't include things like a [Compiler], make(1), locate(1) and others that really should be available on every "real" system, though you can easily add these missing tools with a few clicks once you know about them.
