RedHat: package management, pluggable authentication
FreeBSD: selfish development, less userbase meaning more difficult
install, configuration, etc. And by `less', I mean like 4.5 million
less.. In my unbiased opinion, I really don't see a need to use FreeBSD
(yet).
Caldera: Marketed towards business use, and stability over features.
SuSe: don't know much about that, other than its very popular in Germany,
and has a very large selection of packages.
Slackware: no package management, no PAM, more difficult config.
Generally all release updates (and security updates) at the same rate
these days.
