Open Source
For experimental use, test lab situations, or very special-purpose tasks, Fedora [Linux] is an excellent choice. We are almost exclusively a CentOS shop for our production stuff, but in labs, we take more risks with things like Ubuntu or Fedora. It's not as appropriate as CentOS for production level endeavors, but it lets us know "this is where we could be going" when we engage in r&d tasks.

openSUSE Tumbleweed is best suited to developers, system administrators, and other power users. Beginning users looking for stability and less-frequent package updates will likely be served by alternatives such as openSUSE Leap.

Cons
Open Source
  • Stability. It's good, but it's not anything like CentOS for stability
  • End-user usability. It has a few glaring holes here and there with UI/UX

We are an all-CentOS-shop, but we've done a number of things with Ubuntu and Fedora. Most of the production CentOS machines are only there because prior to that Fedora helped to blaze the trail to get there. It's been a very good platform for testing our new ideas. Ubuntu is similarly positioned in our organization, but Fedora stacks up well in our environment.

SUSE
openSUSE Tumbleweed is a fast-moving and quick-updating Linux distribution. It aims to deliver the latest versions of software packages while being automatically tested before each release. openSUSE Leap has a slower release face and is more suited for users looking to use a certain vetted set of packages which only receive bug fixes.

Return on Investment
Open Source
  • It's been mostly positive. We don't spend a lot on R&D stuff, but Fedora [Linux] gives us a chance to gauge where we are at in comparison to where technology is headed

  • Easy to get into the cluster and track logs.
  • Easy to configure.
