Only the enterprise (SLED,SLES) is currently separated into "server" and "desktop" versions - no such distinction exists for OpenSuSE, though at one time, there were SuSE "personal" and "professional" editions.
So, 10.2 *is* a server edition. and a desktop edition. It's all of the above, and works just as well on a laptop as on a headless server in the data center. It's just not as thoroughly QA'd, and comes with fewer and less stringent guarantees. So if you have local linux talent, OpenSuSE is a great way to go, but if you need that official support, go with SLES. Either one could be the right choice, depending on the type of environment and requirements - I personally use OpenSuSE for my own consulting servers and all the system on my home network, and have been very happy with it.
