recordabais in the comments: yesterday turned seven years old openSUSE project and a . How time flies, right? The 2012 also is very special to SUSE Linux in general, because it celebrates nothing less than its 20 anniversary.
should be clarified, however, that the dates are a bit treacherous. Since when exactly life begins a project? Because no product project is nothing. Thus, while serving seven years yesterday as openSUSE project its first version-10.0-not arrive until October 2005 .
I remember these dates because
mark about my arrival to the world GNU / Linux, the SUSE Linux 9.2 manual, which I installed on my hard drive, shared with Windows XP, with a little afraid of losing everything (not I did not lose anything). I was only a few months with SUSE before making the jump to Mandriva and, later, to Kubuntu. I returned the Gecko path of the 11 series, now, openSUSE. And to this day.
But let
and war stories to talk a bit about openSUSE, which I consider a GNU / Linux, mainly reliable . In fact, it’s a shame that his time should become support of only 18 months for release. For me, and my final opinion, that’s the biggest flaw that openSUSE can find right now.
If you are interested in the ultimate test of this distro a few days ago that openSUSE 12.2 RC 2 released, the final version will be with us next September 5.
SUSE Linux
something happens like what your community version, which is that celebrates its 20th anniversary this 2012 (September 2), although their first release did not come until March 1994 . The company behind the software was acquired by Novell about ten years later, and now part of Attachmate Corporation, which maintains it as an independent division.
all this time, has contributed much SUSE Linux ecosystem , contributing to the development of the kernel, OpenOffice.org, who left for reasons everybody knows, and now they same with LibreOffice (where are the first by level of contribution, etc.). Not forgetting our own tools as incredible as SUSE Studio.
are many examples of SUSE and openSUSE contributions we could give (GNOME, KDE, AppArmor, OpenStack …), but it is best to end this entry with graphics of the achievements of a commercial project, a pioneer in the use of Linux , which has given much, yes, but also received it.
