I think both Fedora and OpenSuse have good desktop focus, but not to the extent that Ubuntu does. IMHO, Linux fits into the server room much better than Windows. But, we also recall that Unix has always been intended as a server product. Most Unix vendors also focused on servers, with Workstations receiving a lot less emphasis. In contrast, Windows (and MS-DOS) was a desktop product from day 1 with the server products essentially coming in at Windows NT was released.
