In my distro search, I found that there are quite a number of distros geared towards the specialist. Artistx, Ubuntu Studio, 64 Stduio....etc. Each of these distros come packed full of tools for video, picutre, and audio editing. Artistx has nearly every tool known to the Linux community pre installed. Ubuntu Studio doesn't use the Unity interface and doesn't include nearly as many tools as Artistx but it comes with the more popular ones. I haven't used 64 Studio yet so I can't comment there.

I too used to be some what of a SUSE fan, but then I found Archlinux. It took awhile to configure but it was worth it..
