Agreed (as someone in the English-speaking world whose first Linux distribution was SUSE) - though even SUSE uses rpm, as does TurboLinux, so in a very real way, they are standing on the shoulders of Red Hat.

Up to a point, yes. As I understand it, though, SUSE originally was bootstrapped from SLS, Soft Landing Linux, and it only gained rpm support later on.

  Suse came from Slackware.

    SLS provided the SL in "SLackware", I believe.
