With that much memory anything should run fine, as long as you don't
install X Windows, and purists would argue that a server should't have
a GUI.

Treat it as an opportunity to learn. You're using SuSE, how familiar
with the command line versions of yast, rpm/zypper(?) are you? If you
already know SuSE well, try your hand at Debian and dpkg/apt-get. If
you're up for a challenge try Gentoo, or Linux From Scratch - though
compiling everything will take quite a while. You could even go
entirely off the reservation and try BSD Unix.
