I think that Mandrake is quite similar to SuSE in Easy to Configure (Mandrake Control Center is similar to YaST), Default Security (about the same in most linux distros) and ease of learning.
But, it does have an edge in installation. It's regarded as easier to install as any version of windows.
Mandrake isn't as good as SuSE in patch management because the MandrakeUpdate program doesn't reside in the toolbar, but otherwise it's pretty easy - pick the patch you want to install, or check all of them. (Not like windows where you have to download all the patches at once and it takes a loooong time to do that)
