Suse Linux and Red Hat Linux

Which are the differences between Suse Linux professsional and red hat
linux? I read on the software discriptions at the store on both boxes. Red
hat said it can operate as a server operating system as well. However, I
could not find that Suse linux can operate as a server os. I just want a
linux box that can run as resourse base, server base, and organization base
os and Mike M. told me that Linux can do all that, but I don't know which
one of the top 2 is right for me.

Thank you.

Is this Suse server products called Suse Linux profressional? Because I saw
two versions of Suse at the store. One is Suse version 9.1 personal, and
the other is Suse Version 9.1 profressional. The Suse Professional is 89
bucks. However, there is another version of linux called red hat that says
it can operate as a server product on the label. Red hat runs at 99 bucks
at the store i looked at.

How much are you willing to pay? RHEL is like $800. There are free
clones of Redhat such as Whitebox linux and CentOS.

I can't afford that much. I was looking for a linux server software around
100 bucks.

If you just want to try out Linux there are several versions that you can
download for free or, if you're on dialup and it'd take 9 years to download
3 ISOs you can buy the CD for a few bucks.
I've downloaded Fedora1 and put it on a laptop and it worked fine till the
motherboard on that laptop fried itself, which had nothing to do with
Fedora.
These guys sell CDs of downloadable stuff and do a check to make sure that
it's a good burn and such.

Usually the personal version and professional version are for
workstations much the same as xp home and xp pro

the server versions are usually labelled as a sever version or enterprise
version and are designed to server class machines ie multiple processors
Raid cards remote management cards and fibre host bus adapters and
gigabet ethernet.

You can download Iso's form Novell.com
