OpenSuse 12.1


Open suse is free operating sytem build on top of linux kernel. openSUSE is sponsered by SUSE PROFFESSIONAL LINUX.

Open suse by default sports KDE desktop but there is gnome, xfce, and lxde desktop to choose from .Open SUSE is one of the first distribution to use btrfs filesystem instead of traditional ext4. Advantage of using btrfs is its snapshopt and rollback capability using the tool called snapper. One of the main features of openSUSE is YasT control center it makes your configuring computer really easy. Software installation is done through Zypper and on GUI side there is again YasT which is technically beautiful.

Performance wise openSUSE is decently smooth and responsive and stability wise its rock solid stable. So definately give a try.
