Just about all of my production Asterisk servers are on SuSE 9.3.  My 
development and demo boxes are SuSE 10.  Both run great.  I do however 
usually tweak the RPM that came with it to add in a few patches.  If you are 
comfortable with running Asterisk 1.0.9 then the RPM works very well.  SuSE 
always seems to really think things through when they package applications.

For running something newer than Asterisk 1.0.9 SuSE 10 is also works fine.  
For your own sanity you'll want to not install/uninstall the SuSE Asterisk 
RPMs.  One possible gotcha: be careful of possibly conflicting kernel modules 
in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra as the Zaptel drivers are not part of any 
Asterisk package but rather the kernel.  The zaptel compile from source 
installs modules to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc so you'll want to delete the 
files in extra.  You'll also have to remember that each time you update the 
kernel RPM.

Hope that helps.  The bottom line from me is Thumbs Up.
