Why is openSUSE so... weird?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've actually come full circle (as of yesterday) back to SUSE. I began using Linux around 2002. My first two distros were discovered out of frustration with my horrible Windows XP upgrade experience. Long story short, my first experience with Linux was Red Hat (probably 2.*) and SUSE Linux (both purchased in boxes). Since then I've used Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, Mandrake (memories), and just about every flavor in between. I've never messed with Gentoo or Slackware, but I've been around. That said, I'm currently finding my return to openSUSE to be a breath of fresh air. I may have rediscovered my new OS home (at least for a while). It's definitely different, but give it time, I suppose. It may grow on you... or maybe not.
