People use SuSE with SAP products.
- majewsky 8y agoCan confirm. I work at SAP's internal cloud department, and SLES is a popular base for SAP system installations (alongside Windows Server). There's also quite some RHEL, mostly because teams chose it before their companies got acquired by SAP.
- mbesto 8y agoSUSE is the OS that runs under SAP HANA. https://www.suse.com/products/sles-for-sap/hana/ https://www.suse.com/products/sles-for-sap/hana/ It used to be exclusively the only OS you could use (can't confirm if anymore).
- bonzini 8y agoSUSE is particularly popular in Germany indeed, because its origins are in the German company SuSE GmbH.
- krylon 8y agoWhen I first got to know GNU/Linux, SuSE was the go-to distro in Germany, because it came with German documentation, and - most important to me - ISDN worked out of the box. Also, Yast made it very newbie-friendly.
- majewsky 8y agoIt was also my first distro for 5 years. I then switched to Arch Linux.
- krylon 8y agoI think I see Arch somewhere in my future, but I have not come around, yet. ;-) I run Arch in a VM on my home server, but I don't really do anything with it. The installation procedure makes OpenBSD's look decadently comfortable, but I admit once it runs, it seems to just keep working.
- johnvanommen 8y agoGreat point. That's one piece of software that isn't going away.
