We've been recommending SuSE (now Novell) for several years to our clients for 
both workstations and servers - and we (clients and ourselves) have not been 
disappointed. Some of our clients have several thousand workstations - mixed 
Windows and Linux - and many servers - again mixed Linux, Sun Solaris, IBM 
AIX, and Windows versions of various ilk.

I personally have used a SuSE Linux workstation for years . In fact, I started 
"playing" with Linux about version 0.89 (slightly post Minix)...

I've done many analysis's for clients of RH v. SuSE - and SuSE almost always 
"wins". What you finally choose is application and manageability dependent - 
so try both.

Cheers,
Lyle
