This is the Linux distribution my server is based on. More information is available here. If you are looking to install openSUSE, there are more details in obtaining openSUSE Leap 42.1.
Changes to openSUSE
Starting with Leap 42.1, code will be based on SuSE Enterprise Linux as base code. This will allow stable releases built on rock solid reliability. Releases will be further apart, more in line with SuSE Enterprise Linux. 32-bit versions are no longer available, only 64-bit (x86_64) versions are now available. SuSE Enterprise Linux has not supported 32-bit bit for a long time and being more in line with SuSE Enterprise Linux, openSUSE shares this trait. Most modern CPU's now support 64-bit.
Installation notes
- VNC does not work properly. You are able to make a connection to the server, however no display will be displayed and you will be left with a blank screen. It will also crash the desktop on the server. This is due to Plasma 5 requiring OpenGL whereas VNC does not support OpenGL. This seems to be a known problem.
Information
