I just have Suse 6.3.  I did get the full retail package.  My only
complaint: they didn't have a real good system configuration utility
that ran in X. and since SuSE uses a slightly different layout for the
kernel modules, it took a little longer to figure that out.  That was
about the only problem I had with the install.
