(pronounced /ˌoʊpənˈsuːzə/), is a general purpose operating system developed by the openSUSE Project. After acquiring SUSE Linux in January 2004,[2] Novell decided to release the SUSE Linux Professional product as a 100% open source project, involving the community in the development process.[3] The initial release was a beta version of SUSE Linux 10.0, and as of December 2008 the current stable release is openSUSE 11.1.[4]
Beyond the distribution, the openSUSE Project provides a web portal for community involvement. The community assists in developing openSUSE collaboratively with representatives from Novell by contributing code through the openSUSE Build Service, writing documentation, designing artwork, fostering discussion on open mailing lists and in Internet Relay Chat channels, and improving the openSUSE site through its wiki interface. Novell employed over 500 developers working on SUSE in 2004.[5] Novell markets openSUSE as the best, easiest distribution for all users.[6]
Like most distributions, openSUSE includes both a default graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface option. During installation, the user may choose among KDE,GNOME and Xfce GUIs. openSUSE supports thousands of software packages across the full range of Free software / open source development.
