I forgot to mention, that HP likes to send the very latest. So often drivers may not work. This is so we as var's can recommend the latest Hardware from HP.
FOR SLES, you can use the YES certification search:

For openSUSE there's no such easy list AFAIK. I expect that a system running SLES 10 SP1, will run openSUSE 10.3 as well,

The reverse of this last statement is not true though. I have a fairly new machine I bought just before xmas. Clone using a ASUS P5K SE motherboard with onbaord SATA. I can get openSUSE 10.3 installed on it OK but SLES 10 SP1 does not recognise the Disk Controller during the install. Even following some information re forcing the Marvell driver to load did not work. So for very modern HW there is still some differences between SLES 10 SP1 and openSUSE.
I was carefull to only state the one direction as I did;-) - and know that both products have different kernel versions which means others changes. It might be that your system gets supported with the next SP. Just noticed this is on openSUSE-project. This is offtopic here, let's continue on the generic list (followup set).
