I wrote an article on this, rewriting it with a lot more information, the SUSE/Mandrake corporate products cost even more initially and per year for support agreements from their respective vendors, and their "cheap" products (i.e. suse professional, Mandrake Linux power pack) are only supported for 18-24 months after release (not a long time as one would wish).
The original (in my opinion semi-crappy) article I wrote is at: http://security-site.seifried.org/article.pl?sid=03/10/28/0917212 I'm not done the rewrite yet due to halloween/lots of snow but this should be done in a day or two. Personally I partially agree with Red Hat, supporting/selling a product that makes them no money kind of doesn't make sense, although it would be nice if they continued I can understand why they do not.
