Unfortunately you can't buy this from Levono with SuSE preinstalled.
You get only a DOS installed system from Levono. You have to buy SLED
10 separately from SuSE and install it on your own. What Levono will
provide is support for SLED 10.

Here is the footnote:

"* Only Novell Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 is supported. The
ThinkPad T60p Mobile Workstation does not come preloaded with SUSE
Linux. Users must obtain SUSE Linux licenses from Novell. The ThinkPad
T60p comes with DOS entitlement only and ships with a blank hard disk
drive. SUSE Linux OS will be supported by Novell, while Lenovo will
support Hardware, ThinkVantage Technologies, and drivers."
