The SUSE and Redhat have their own open source projects online. The SUSE linux 10.0 is distributed and called itself the "Mercedez" linux, I think they might try hard to write lots of packages to make the system smart.
The fedora core 4.0 is the latest stable release in year 2005, and it has a trial release on core 5.0 recently. I just have my fedora core 4.0 installed.
Both of them are not bad for starters, and they all have a wide range of hardware support, which is really important to me.

all a matter of opinion, I prefer LFS or Centos depending on what I am doing.
