Hi
Can any one help me to know the difference between Suse Linux and Red
hat Linux (technically)
1) In SuSE most of the common admin tasks are done through YAST
Red Hat Enterprise Linux uses the more common 1 thing for a task
and that done well - Unix philosophy
2) SuSE is known to provide proprietary codecs for which they end up in
deals with companies like Real Networks (for mp3 ripping)
Red Hat firmly believes in its F/OSS roots and does not do this.
3) Both look good. SuSE is KDE/Gnome while RHEL is Gnome/KDE
4)

might help too
Both have done a lot for the F/OSS community. SuSE has given us
Beagle, helped XGL/Compiz and Mono
Red Hat on the other hand also employs many kernel and gnome developers,
provides lots of system-config-* tools. They are also developing packagekit
now to provide a uniform interface among distros for package management
