SuSE doesn't strip all of them out, but certainly doesn't install any development headers and libraries by default. The glibc-devel has a good chunk of the files necessary to bootstrap OpenPKG, but if I remember correctly the installation media doesn't have that are necessary (e.g. pam- devel). The last time I looked at this was SuSE 8.2 or so, and I don't remember whether I built the necessary packages from the SuSE Personal SRPMS or got them from the appropriate Professional packages. We use SuSE Personal edition only on networked workstations where there's a full SuSE Professional install on one or more servers. I strongly recommend to people who want to use SuSE for anything else to get the Professional series so they don't get nasty surprises.
