IMHO the "98%" under-states the differences. Yes, somewhat similar to Fedora and Mandriva; but different in ways that are important to users. And a lot of differences from Debian, not to speak of Slackware or Gentoo.
What other ways?
When I say 98% - what I mean is, we all ship the same applications, more or less - GNOME or KDE, Firefox, OpenOffice.org, etc.
Actually, the Novell version of OOo is different than that which is used in other Distros and is a big selling point. The Go-OOo version does VBA macros in Calc better than the vanilla version. In fact it deals with MSO compatibility better across the board as a general rule.
They work pretty much the same in any distro, so I'm looking for uniqueness beyond the applications.
