I need two different Linux OS one for 64-bit quad-core, currently running OPENSUSE 11.1, and the other for an old P2.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Open SUSE is a good Nix Distro which works well. It comes in both 32 & 64 Bit Versions. Granted some don't like it but then again others do so it's a bit like asking for Personal Opinions. You'll get a multitude of different Responses with no certain answer.

As a P2 isn't really that Old most of the newer Linux Distro's should run on that but again it all depends on what it is you want to do here.

Something like Ubuntu is a Popular Windows Like App where as Knoppix just works a treat.

I do however like the new Mandriva Summer 2009 Linux which comes as a Live Linux that you can install in either 32 or 64 Bit versions.

Currently I'm running Debian on a 200 MMX Pentium with minimal RAM and it works a treat. GEOS is another good general Purpose Nix Distribution as well as Memphis and PC Linux. Mint is another Popular and claimed easy to use Nix.

the one you like best.

GNU-Linux os is the same, no matter what distro. The differences are nothing but config tools and cosmetics.
