Just backup before you do anu upgrade with SuSE and you should be 
generally OK (and dont mention 'upgrade' on freenode #suse or you'll get 
laughed at). Plus, under 9.1 I had problems with a number of packages 
(mostly PHP4 ones) being uninstallable due to corrupted RPM Database. 
This problem recurred even after a complete wipe.

Personally I'm using Debian now, which I'm very pleased with. Despite 
using the 'testing' (Sarge) version it's never broken on me - yet. And I 
do a lot of installing and uninstalling.
