It is aimed towards users and developers working on the desktop or server. It is great for beginners, experienced users and hardcore linux enthusaists alike, in short, it is perfect for everybody! The latest release, openSUSE 13.1, features new and massively improved versions of all useful server and desktop applications. It comes with more than 1,000 open source applications.
