It is a little bit more difficult with SuSE 9.1 professional, as there wasn't any help from there support.
It is difficult to find the apache conf and when you do and i still haven't done it to make the secure server work.
Then you have to find mysql and get it started if your fully LAMP.
On redhat, fedora and mdk these are installed for you and mdk is already running.
Mdk also has a much easier and less complicated newbie install than SuSE, so these little problems have made me go
back to mdk 10.1, until I have more time.
This forum now will help for the differences. SuSE 9.1 looks better and does amd64 on the same set of disks, it is also cheaper than
Mandrake for the professional version, it's these little bugs in the learning curve that slow switching down.
Then there is the screen freezing quite frequently, this needs sorting too.
Well at least k3b works on Susi 9.1 but doesn't on Mdk 10.1
