Hello. First off I’m completely new to SUSE Linux. My question is, if on a SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 I double-click My Computer should I see the service pack installed under the OS information? Also, how would I go about getting the service pack to install?
Lastly, what is the easiest way to remote to a SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 server from a Windows 7 machine? Thanks.

The current SP is usually best-represented in the /etc/SuSE-release file
on any old SLES/openSUSE machine. To see it, just read that file. Keep
in mind it is just a text file, so it could be hacked by you or somebody
else to be completely invalid. To get the media for any install go to
https://download.suse.com and choose ‘SUSE Linux Enterprise Server’ from
the drop-down, then search. All SPs are usable as full installs or
upgrades; boot from the media (USB/DVD/network/whatever) and then choose
Install for a new install or Upgrade for, well, you get the idea.

SSH is the easiest way to access almost anything. windows doesn’t come
with useful utilities like an SSH client, but you can download Putty or
something pretty easily.

Good luck.

To add to ab’s reply, section 10.0 of the SLES10 Installation and
Administration Guide[1] deals with installing Service
Packs.
Unlike Windows Service Packs, with SUSE Linux Enterprise you have
to install Service Packs in order and can’t jump releases so you
have to install in the following order: SLES10 (with no Service
Pack, SP0) → SLES10 SP1 → SLES10 SP2 → SLES10 SP3 → SLES10
SP4. Whatever you have now is where you need to start from within
that order (so if you actually have SLES10 SP2 you’d need to
install SLES10 SP3 before going to SLES10 SP4).
You should also note that SLES11 SP3 is currently that latest
version of SLES available although to upgrade to that you’d still
need to go throough the same upgrade steps from SLES10 to SLES10
SP4 but could then go directly to SLES11 SP3 (without having to
go through SLES11 → SLES11 SP1 → SLES11 SP2 → SLES11 SP3)
since you’re changing major release.
HTH.
