What’s on these SUSE Distro CDs?

by charliespencer . Updated 19 years, 11 months ago

A couple of years ago I attended a free Linux dog and pony show presented by Novell. I received four free CD’s at this show, one labeled:

SUSE Linux Standard Server 8

Will this run as a desktop? What makes it “Server”?

The others were CDs 1 through 3 of something called:

United Linux for SUSE Linux Standard Server 8 1.0

What’s United Linux, yet another distro I haven’t heard of? What’s the relationship between United Linux and SUSE Linux?

Most importantly, I’ve got these and a set of three RH9 CDs. Which would be better suited for newbie with a Compaq EPa/P600e/10b/9/128c with 512Mb of RAM and a 10Gb HD? And will either work with a KVM switch right out of the box?
