Leginon

I was wondering if anybody has used Leginon on SUSE 10.2 and/ or a 64-bit system (preferably both)? We're considering purchasing a new system, probably a 64-bit desktop, to run Leginon and I'm not sure if it is best to just put the latest release of SUSE on it (which is 10.2 at present). The desktop will probably be wheeled in and out of the F20 room on a trolley, as we can only get gigabit ethernet in that room at present, and a higher performance desktop is going to be more affordable than a laptop. I'm not sure if there additional issues with having another desktop PC in that room in terms of it generating heat and noise (presumably not a lot more than a person sitting right next to the microscope - the Leginon system will still be at the far end of the F20 room, which is relatively large),
