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 42.3.
Changes to openSUSE
Starting with Leap 42.1, code is based on SUSE Enterprise Linux as the base code. This will allow stable releases to be built based on the rock solid reliability of SuSE Linux Enterprise. Releases will be 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 for a long time and being more in line with SUSE Enterprise Linux, openSUSE now shares this trait. Most modern CPU's now support 64-bit (Late Pentium 4's and above support x86_64).
Installation notes/Known Issues
- BIND DNS server is implemented as an old SysV service running under systemd. To enable it to boot on start-up (which is still hit and miss), you must use the SysV command
chkconfig named on, for other commands such as start, stop and restart, you must use systemd commandsservice named start/stop/restart.
