Linux vs. Suse

I was curious if anyone could tell me the differences, if there are any, between the Suse 9.2 Professional file structure and the Red Hat 9.1 file structure....I am not even sure if this is the right question for the following:

The underlying concern about this, is I would like to switch my machines over, but had a bit of trouble with Suse 9.0 Pro, because the /home directory is mounted from a server, and it with Suse 9.0 Pro I could not get the user to successfully log on, only root or local accounts.

I'm not really sure what the problem was, but I got it to work fine with Red Hat 9.1 Would Suse 9.2 give me as much trouble as 9.0? or should I just stick with Red Hat 9.1?

I don't know if its the file structure or not, or something with the kernel or other system files...like I said I'm not sure how to ask this but hopefully I will be better able to form a question when I see a response =)

If any of this isn't clear enough please let me know.

Re:Linux vs. Suse

Red Hat's last consumer desktop distro was 9.0. After that came Fedora Core 1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. Now we're on Fedora Core 3 and RHEL4 will be released next month.

So I'm not sure which one you're switching to from SUSE. However, the /home directory and the basic directory structure is the same. If there are any significant differences they are going to be in /etc and possibly /dev as well.
