Fedora Core "Red Hat's Fedora Core 5, which hit the Internet late last month, shines in the server and developer roles with which Linux has come to be identified. In addition, for many scenarios, Fedora has matured enough to perform well as a mainstream corporate desktop. During tests, eWEEK Labs was impressed with the fast-moving distribution's updated SELinux and Xen virtualization components, broadened programming language and tool support, and hot-off-the-compiler GNOME 2.14 desktop environment."

- mp3, divx, etc. support (easy do fix in SuSE)
- real player - SUSE has it
- sun's java (and jdk) - SuSE has it
- wireless card drivers - SuSE has it
- support for laptops in KDE - SuSE has it
Good things:
- Eclipse IDE installed by default
- KDE 3.5

Don't even tell me about downloading them. How can I download anything without the wireless connection (ethernet is broken).

You should add to "Good things" that Fedora is a completely Free operating system, like openSUSE but unlike SLED.
