   I've got SUSE 10 SP 2 running on the other computer (a twin to the GX240).   
   It set up my monitor's resolution up to 120 instead of the 85 (the norm   
   for openSUSE). I didnt know if that was what I really wanted, but it   
   obviously did something different. It also came built in with an MP3   
   player and nicer fonts -- but the choice of software in its repositories   
   is more limited. For what I need, openSUSE works great. But if folks want   
   technical support and are willing to pay the very reasonable rate of $120   
   for 3 years support, I'd go with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop.
