The full 4 CD set includes commercial software, like
StarOffice and Adabas. If you want those, you have
to pay, or visit their website.

Debian provides one CD ISO image. SuSE provides one CD ISO
image.
I really don't understand where you want to go. Only so
much
stuff can be placed on a CD. SuSE uses 5 CD's in the
commercial
package:
1: RPM packages and really cool software like MI/X.
2, 3: RPM packages.
4: Source code
5: Live file system.
No other distribution comes close to this quality.
Debian 2.0 came out about the same time as SuSE 5.2,
so if the latest and greatest is your thing, I
don't think Debian is a good choice.
One last question: What are you looking for that's
not on the SuSE evaluation CD? I used the 5.2
evaluation CD on my laptop for months before I
bought the 5.3 commercial.
