Commercial versions of SUSE are better tested and more reliable, and
are more likely to configure correctly. When I installed SUSE 10
commercial version, it figured out which binary-only graphics
accelerator driver to use, installed it and configured it correctly,
and ran beautifully.
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.
