Suse or Mandrake

I have settled down to two distros that are my favorite. Each one has strengths and some weaknesses. Depending on the hardware depends on which one I install on that computer. So I have posted a simple poll between both Mandrake and Suse. What I am asking has to do only with the distros themselves, not other issues with the companies, etc. Please leave any other comments you may have.

Be sure that everyone who votes has actually used "both" distros.

Yes. Thank you. I should have added that in the original post. This is only for those of us who have actually USED BOTH distros.

IME, it's a YMMV issue. On my old box, I had trouble with older versions of Mandrake and Suse installed great. On my latest & greatest, SuSe 9.1 choked but Mandrake 10 installed perfectly.

I've used the latest and the earlier versions of both only to find that I like Mandrake slightly better.
