Novell will be launching a community-based Linux distribution, OpenSuSE, at next week's LinuxWorld in San Francisco, according to sources close to the company. Following in the footsteps of Red Hat Inc. with its successful Fedora Project Linux distribution, Novell Inc. will be opening up its Linux development efforts with OpenSuSE, sources said.

OK, I should have said: out of the box Ubuntu is little more than an installer: the Debian installer plus Gnome, in fact.
If you are willing to put quite some work into it, you can have the commercial plugins, Nvidia drivers...But still no setup tools comparable to YaST.

Littile more than an installer? Hello! Ubuntu is a complete OS just like SuSE is with more software available to install with out combing the net for it (with universe). And ubuntu already has apt, out of the box as you say.
