Just because SUSE may use its own flavor of various things, every distro
does. I'm willing to bet if you use a sun JDK and -Xmx256m or more that it
will work just fine.
I can't think of a single thing that SUSE could be doing "differently" then
other distros that could possibly effect the installation of glassfish.
Running it as a service etc will all be heavily distro dependent, but
getting it installed should be cake as long as an appropriate JDK and
correct options are passed to the installer

We've had it running here on openSUSE 10.2 (although those machines were
recently migrated to Ubuntu 8.04). We used the jar file installer
glassfish-installer-v2ur2-b04-linux.jar
and then wrote our own /etc/init.d script based on SUSE's Tomcat script.

What was the exception?
Were you installing with the jar file I described above? You didn't
omit the -Xmx, did you?
java -Xmx256m -jar glassfish-installer-v2ur2-b04-linux.jar

I'd take issue with that, having just done it on both SUSE and Ubuntu.
