Polish.
As a GNOME user, I think we ship the most polished GNOME desktop, (since 11.0) a very polished installation, and a great look and feel.
Some other stuff: as Bryen said, the custom UI of the GNOME desktop is a big thing; it's kindof a cliche whichwas used in SLED 10 marketing, but we have great usability. The custom GNOME interface is a part of that, so is some of the system management tools.
1-Click Install. No other distro has a completely open system that makes installing and keeping applications up-to-date like we do. It's an incredible advantage that we have.
And the final thing doesn't have to do with the OS as much as it does the openSUSE Project, but we have a full boxed edition, complete with good documentation and telephone support. Few other major distros (none that I can think of, now that Linspire is gone) have this great product for new Linux users.

Subject: [opensuse-marketing] Unique about openSUSE?
Hey all,
One of the questions I am asked frequently: What makes openSUSE unique
among Linux distros?
I think it'd be good to have a list of benefits / advantages to
openSUSE. Note, not looking to say we're "better" than other distros,
even if we are ;-) just how are we actually *different* since we ship
about 98% the same software?
Obviously, I've given this some thought, but I suspect that more heads
are better than just mine on this one. As we're approaching the 11.1
release, I know that this question will come up again quite a bit.
Thoughts?
