What's more, unlike SCO, SuSE has added quite a bit of Value to Linux. And they've toned down their Yast tool to NOT kill all your manually edited config files.
I also switched to SuSE from COL. At the time it was because I wanted to try a 2.4 kernel based distro and it was the first of the big four IBM supported (SuSE,RH,Turbo,COL) to come out with one. I love and after the COL disaster I'm certainly glad I switched.
As far as YAST wacking configuration files, I don't believe it ever did. SuSEconfig was the culprit which gets run by default after you do anything with YAST. However, there is and as far as I know (since 7.2) has always been the option to disable SuSEconfig if you wanted to do things by hand. Then you can still use YAST to install packages, updates, resolve dependencies, etc., and do all your configuration by hand.
I'd recommend SuSE to anyone.
