I could use Fedora if I must in the manner suggested above, but I would 
prefer OpenSuSE to Fedora.  The other option is to wait for SL7 to leave 
beta and become production -- at which time we will routinely update all 
of our servers and workstations to the highest SL production version 
available (that is, SL 7x to replace the SL 6x we currently use).
