Is Suse 9.0 that much different from mandrake 9.1?

Hi all, I wanted to try another distro, Suse9.0 personal and is it very different from mandy 9.1? I hear they are very similar, so i'll make my judgement solely on everybody's opinions about the two............
Thanks in advance,
RANDON

Never used Mandrake, sorry, but I do have to say I like SuSE 9 personal worlds over 8.2... It recognized my hardware first shot on update (I REALLY was loathing configuring my 9600 Pro) and works almost perfectly right out of the box... Of course, there's the obligatory Linux tweaking, but that's fun.

I have noticed Gnome is rather slow, so I've taken to using Windowmaker, which I love.

I say try it. If you buy the disks, the documentation is quite good...
