"Our site gets a million hits a day on a completely db-driven website. Both the Apache webserver and the two replicated MySQL servers on the backend are all running FreeBSD 5, and have been for months now." Does this configuration sound vaguely familiar? An alternative to consider in case SUSE proves unstable.
I've been running Red Hat, SuSE and Debian on various servers, can't say anything about one of the BSD-flavours. Debian ist the most demanding system of the three I know, but also the one with the most control. SuSE CAN be reliable and secure, but you need a lot of manual configuration work (at least until 7.x I wasn't happy at all with the SuSE setup routines; don't know about later versions).
