Howdy, I have come home to SuSE after getting my feet wet with other distros for some time and I thought I would throw down my two pennies for what it's worth. I do find that Linux is Linux to a large degree but what separates the distros is harder to explain which is why we have the long thread. I found RedHat comforting in the fact that I find it the most used. Most of us I would guess have tried it or use it in some fashion. But when sitting at the machine, I find it unresponsive, quirky, overloaded with software (not to mention Mandrake), a little cold and in general a little shaky. This was MY experience with it (you mileage may vary). On the same machine, I find SuSE tight, manageable, friendly, streamlined, green, understanding and in general... solid. Being a life-long Mac fan, I find SuSE the most Mac like of any distro (pause for boos). Sorry if that offends... In parting I will just say that Linux, like most things, is a prime example of the old saying "the right tool for the right job". Whatever works for you is what is best.
