If you want bleeding edge packages, then go for Suse 9.3. It as KDE 3.4, GNOME 2.10, beagle and mono. If you don't care much about the latest features and prefer a something a bit stable go for the Mandriva 2005LE release. The default Suse installation has some multimedia capabilities disabled e.g. mp3 support is only available in RealPlayer but this can be fixed with an upgrade using YAST. Personally I think they are both good distros would find it very difficult to choose between the two.
One last thing, how can I change the resolution of SuSe to give me more options? All I have right now is just 1024 x 768, I wish to have available 1280 x 1024. Is that an update I can get from Yast or is that Video Card related? I have a ATI Radeon 9250 PCI Video Card.
