Of course, but irrelevant. Both are servers, only that one pays you >:-)

OpenSUSE is not certified, so it can not be compliant. AFAIK, it only 
applies to machines sold with software and both certified. And it does not 
apply to servers: pg. 11, secction 3 - "All products, except for 
desktop-derived servers". Also, AFAIK, the product has to be labeled on 
the box as such with instructions:

- ----
Either option must at least include the following information:

# Notice that the computer has been shipped enabled for power
management and what the time
    settings are; and
# How to properly wake the computer from Sleep mode;
- ----

It is different.

If you have to add this (does KDE enforce this compliance?) you must make 
it configurable via Yast.
