Ice Weasel and putty you really shouldn't have to install on openSUSE 10.2. Ice Weasel is simply the Debian branded variant of Firefox. Hence in 10.2 you should simply install Firefox. Putty is an SSH client for Windows, which pretty much all Linux distros install by default - the openSSH package. You should find that ssh <hostname> from a command line will give you the functionality you require from putty.
