<br>
Probably. However, while SuSE has always been buggy, Ubuntu isn't
that much<br>
better AFAICT. You've heard all the "OMG Unity is horrible!!1!"
traffic on<br>
various mailing lists, right? That's more important for orkstations
than<br>
servers, but it shows they're out of touch with users' wants. I'd
go for<br>
CentOS or Gentoo myself.<br>

<br>
That should work. The main thing you'll have to do is account for
all the<br>
differences between the old distro and the new distro in terms of running<br>
programs and config file differences.<br>
