What is OpenSUSE?

OpenSUSE is a popular Linux distribution that aims at a wide variety of Linux users. It is released every 8 to 10 months, and is one of the most heavily customised Linux distributions. This is largely because the company behind OpenSUSE, Novell, employs developers that work across several key free software projects, and they usually work extra hard to get new features into OpenSUSE when new versions of the distro come along. One of the big advantages to using OpenSUSE is that it has a central system administration tool called YaST that handles everything from setting up your mouse to running a web server. But one of the big disadvantages to OpenSUSE is that it has so many customisations that people sometimes feel they need to learn it all from scratch!
