About a year ago I bought a Logitech Pilot Wheel/FirstMouse+ (in the US) OEM mouse, Model M-S48 and though the wheel didn't work under XFree (is this fixed now?), I used it alot under Windooze. After a few days, my wrist started to hurt really badly and I found out that I bent it to an odd angle when I was using that mouse. So I went to my local computer shop and tried out all the wheel mice they've had. The Logitech MouseMan Wheel suited me best so I bought it and I'm very happy with it since then. My wrist pain was gone in no time too. And the best thing is, that it works with XFree.
Nowadays I really miss the wheel, when I use other peoples computers and I find myself rubbing the middle mouse button every time I want to scroll a window.
On a related note, does VMWARE support wheel mice?
SuSE actually does GPL the tools they develop, like SaX, which is a really neat program. And their distribution is based on rpm's too. YaST - SuSE's installer - is just a powerful frontend for rpm and other things. You don't have to use it when you are running SuSE Linux.

The dragon is supposed to be a mascot and not a new logo for KDE. Their logo remains to be the sprocket & K thingy.
