FWIW, I use SuSE, and it is a piece of piss to install, manage and administer...

From what I've seen, suse is not at all bad. As you no doubt know, I'm a debian devotee myself, but I was genuinely impressed with SuSE when I tried it about 9 months ago. RedHat however, is Evil - 180 MB base system, and a package management system that doesn't manage packages. Weirdness.
I quite liked RedHat when it came to 5.2. Disk Droid needs taming, but it's better than some text-based stuff about. I've still not had time to upgrade 6.0 to 6.1 yet...
I just plain didn't like the Debian installation. Those dotfile installs didn't give me much help or choice and the supplied kernels didn't work with my SCSI card (known problem).
As to RPM - I've never had a problem with it.
