The differences seem compelling in favor of Fedora Core:
1. Fedora Core is free-beer, price of $0, whereas SUSE is $767.
2. Fedora Core is GNU-free, whereas I'm not so sure about SUSE.
The possisble downside of Fedora Core for AMD64 is that it's more or
less "hot off the presses" as of March 5. (Over a month ago, so I
guess if it was a disaster we would have heard by now?)
Well, I don't know if we want to be spending our limited money on OS
licenses ("support"). Perhaps we should just wait for Fedora Core to
have a couple more releases to iron out the bugs? No need to rush it.
