The openSuse project is a community program sponsored by Novell. Promoting the use of Linux everywhere, this program provides free, easy access to openSuse, a complete Linux distribution. The openSuse project has three main goals: make openSuse the easiest Linux for anyone to obtain and the most widely used Linux distribution; leverage open source collaboration to make openSuse the world's most usable Linux distribution and desktop environment for new and experienced Linux users; dramatically simplify and open the development and packaging processes to make openSuse the platform of choice for Linux developers and software vendors.
