Although sponsored by Novell and used as the base for its Suse Linux Enterprise products, Opensuse is a community-developed Linux distribution, available free for use on servers or desktops.
The Opensuse software is available for 32-bit and 64-bit Intel/AMD processors plus PowerPC systems with, in the latest 10.3 release, specific support for a Linux/Windows dual-boot setup, enabling both operating systems to be installed on the same PC.
It also includes version 2.3 of the Openoffice.org desktop productivity suite, which makes life a lot easier when sharing files with Microsoft Office users. This release includes numerous performance and interface enhancements, plus simpler software setup.
