That means it will work on any Linux distribution that is recent. ELF is the type of executable encoding used, and ELF has been around for a while. RedHat 5.0 was ELF based, if I remember right, and that is pretty old. So any version of SUSE that is not 5 years old will work fine. The 2.0 part is for the Linux kernel, and again SUSE will for certain have at *least* that new a kernel. In short, you will be fine. WRI has done it the right way, as Mathematica is pretty nuetral about the distro. I am running it on Debian unstable, zero problems.
