User Testimonials
	openSUSE Leap
Likelihood to Recommend	SUSE OpenSUSE Leap is well suited for just about any Linux task. Especially I like to use it as Docker base image for my software deployments, because it has a wide variety of software packages available already precompiled and packages are well maintained - vulnerable software versions are patched in reasonable time. OpenSUSE Leap is rpm based system, and it wouldn't install Debian or other systems packages. If your software is not an rpm package then OpenSUSE Leap would not be suitable for your system.

Alternatives Considered	SUSE openSUSE Leap has wide variety of already precompiled software packages in default repositories. It even has some specific packages in official repositories that are not available in other Linux distribution repositories. It is also very stable and reliable distro - we can predict when new versions will be released and when we should make system upgrades. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	SUSE More effective maintenance means a smaller headcount needed for running the production servers. The easiness of deployment means more time we can spend on software development of company-specific applications. Great community support and overlap with other Linux systems mean that an answer to nearly any problem is usually one google query away. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
