We have just switched from SUSE to Fedora4 for our new installs and are
very happy with it.  Personally I much prefer it and bonus is it's free.

Something that might be of interest is before I deployed the box live I
did a full yum update I guess it must have updated the kernel or
something as after I rebooted the box zap stopped working with some
weird errors.

Quick recompile of zaptel had everything working a charm but its
something worth keeping in mind.

I think the "once it's working, leave it alone" advice is very sound
indeed :)
