For the past few years, SUSE has been the most popular Linux distribution
in Europe. Since the U.S. networking company Novell, Inc. purchased
SUSE in November 2003, SUSE has been positioning itself to
challenge Red Hat to become the dominant Linux distribution for large enterprise
computing environments worldwide.
Like Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE is an excellent first Linux
for people who prefer to work from a graphical desktop rather than from the
command line. Likewise, Novell??™s Linux product line is geared toward enterprise
computing, so the skills you gain using SUSE on your home Linux
system will be useful in a business environment as well.
SUSE has a slick graphical installer that leads you through installation and
intuitive administrative tools, consolidated under a facility called YaST. SUSE
and its parent company, Novell, offer a range of Linux products and support
plans that scale from free versions of openSUSE with community support, to
supported SUSE distributions for the home and enterprise desktop (SUSE and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop), all the way up to SUSE??™s Linux Enterprise
Server product.
