<DIV> What was stated below is incorrect.

<DIV>The latest version of SUSE is 10. The latest retail version is also 10, but it has not
</DIV>
<DIV>hit stores yet. It is, however, downloadable as an "eval DVD iso". There is no
</DIV>
<DIV>difference between the evan DVD and the commercial DVD other than the eval
</DIV>
<DIV>does not come with phone support.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The confusion over openSUSE versus SUSE is that SUSE has a handful of closed-source
</DIV>
<DIV>packages in it. The openSUSE has those packages removed. Both are SUSE, both
</DIV>
<DIV>are SUSE 10.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regarding the 600MHz question, it depends on the architecture of your processor.
</DIV>
<DIV>Intel or AMD should be fine. If you are trying a K6, Cyrix, etc you *may* have problems.
</DIV>
<DIV>Officially, SUSE supports:
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV># Intel Pentium 1-4
</DIV>
<DIV># AMD Duron, Athlon, Athlon XP, Athlon MP, Sempron
</DIV>
<DIV># AMD Opteron, Athlon 64. Sempron 64, Turion 64
</DIV>
<DIV># Intel Xeon, Xeon MP, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition
</DIV>
<DIV># G5 / G4 / G3
</DIV>
<DIV># 604 / 603 / 601
</DIV>
<DIV># IBM RS/6000
</DIV>
<DIV># IBM pSeries (except the models with RS64 cpu)
</DIV>
<DIV># IBM iSeries
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So if you have anything else, you may have issues.
