I think this has been mentioned before, but make sure
Linux emulation is enabled in your kernel, install the
suse package, and call it NetBSD/Linux. Then say:

"NetBSD/Linux is the same as GNU/Linux except that
it has improvements in several critical areas".

;-)

Seriously, all the Linux applications I have tried recently
work. Are there applications that are known not to work?
