Redhat linux gives you a ton of information, manuals, packaged rpm and support. Its really easy to install. if you pick up parttion Magic software you can partiion your drive with no problem on your computer. I don't have alot of information SuSe but they have good line of products. If your unsure if you want to partition your drive you can install a workstation without needing a partiton in redhat linux. Good Luck.
