Good first step !
SuSE site said it's EAL2+, far from the highest level claim by yahoo. In fact, 
security were not tested during EAL2, it's a structurally test.

URL for what each EAL in CC means.
http://www.commoncriteria.org/docs/EALs.html

pdf show CC, ITSE and TCSEC, also the evaluation process.

Just want to get the story correct for people who don't know what those 
evaluation were.
