I have the following guests:
RHEL 6		- guest agent from EPEL
CentOS 6	- guest agent from EPEL
RHEL 5		- guest agent from RHEL repositories
Fedora 20	- guest agent from Fedora repository
Solaris 10	- no guest agent
Solaris 11	- no guest agent
Ubuntu 12.04	- guest agent from launchpad
Debian 7	- guest agent from launchpad (Ubuntu Precise)

I don't have openSUSE running on my new setup anymore, but guest agent 
from build.opensuse.org did work fine. SLES 11 didn't work.

René
