SLED/SLES is the enterprise version. The packages tend to be older then openSUSE. SLED/SLES is Novell's answer to RHEL. Enterprise distros are meant to be on the machine for several years and updated sporatically (service packs). openSUSE releases every 6-9 months and has the usual latest and greatest new packages.

They are on an 8-month cycle, to be exact.

I had a problem with the downloads, I probably will not put anymore time in to it.
