Yes......it sure does! I tried Debian a couple of years ago at a client
site on some older hardware....hardware that I was certain openSUSE
would support. I had all kinds of grief from Debian......didn't support
a number of hardware. I quickly got tired of it, since time is money ya
know, booted the openSUSE DVD and got the job done.
