3. Overview
The openSUSE Project community, sponsored by SUSE, develops and
maintains SUSE Linux distributions components. openSUSE Linux is
the successor to "SUSE Linux Professional".Beyond the distribution, the
openSUSE Project provides a web portal for community involvement.
The community developing openSUSE collaboratively with its corporate
sponsors through the Open Build Service, writing documentation,
designing artwork, fostering discussion on open mailing lists and
in Internet Relay Chat channels, and improving the openSUSE site
through its wiki interface. openSUSE aims to offer a stable base and
allow users to use the Open Build Service to get additional or more up
to date software, or even a rolling release version with the
name Tumbleweed. Moreover, the system should be flexible and make
it easy to re-purpose for specific goals like running a web- or mail
server. Like most Linux distributions, openSUSE includes both a
default graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line
interface option. During installation, the user may choose among KDE
SC, GNOME, LXDE and Xfce GUIs. openSUSE supports thousands of
software packages across the full range of Free software / open
source development

44. 3.1 Graphical User Interfaces (GUI)
You can customize nearly every last inch of your Linux installation
to fit your liking, and it starts with choosing the right desktop
environment. Whether you're a Linux beginner or you're just
looking for a new interface, here's an overview of how desktop
environments work and how to pick the right one for you.
Windows and Mac OS X come with pretty specific graphical
interfaces (you know, the windows, the skin, the system
toolbars, etc.) that aren't really built for customization. With
Linux, you can fully customize not only how your desktop looks,
but even its functionality, and the settings available in its
preferences. If you're a beginning Linux user, you may have
heard of popular desktop environments like GNOME, KDE,
XFCE, Openbox, or others—but what do they all mean? Here,
we'll discuss what desktop environments are, and how to try
new ones out on your existing Linux installation.

45. What Are Window Managers and
Desktop Environments?
●While Windows and Mac OS X were designed around
a GUI and, for the most part, are fixed to that specific
GUI, Linux's GUI is completely separate from the
operating system itself. It's split up into a few
different parts: atop the command-line operating
system is the X window system, which is what draws
the GUI onto your screen. On top of that is what's
called your window manager, which allows you to
manage the windows on your screen: move them
around, drag and drop files, scroll up and down, and
so on

46. X Window – Basic concepts
Often a new Linux user will read references to X Window. X
Window (commonly known as X11 or X) provides Linux PCs a
graphical environment, in which different graphical desktops
can run (giving the user a graphical appearance that is typical of
the OS of modern computers, such as seen in the Mac, or in
MS-Windows). Without X Window one would only have a
simple ascii prompt/shell type environment on their Linux PC
(with no graphics). In Linux X Window, to obtain a user
friendly Graphical User Environment (GUI), on top of X
Window runs a Window Manager or a Desktop Environment. In
such a case an openSUSE Linux user is then typically running
their PC in what is referred to as run level 5. (Note in a Mac and
in MS-Windows, there is typically no such clear distinction
between the ASCII shell, and the upper level graphical
environment, and hence Mac/MS-Windows have only one GUI,
while a Linux user can choose from many).

47. X Window - Aspects
X Window is very powerful, in that its architecture is deliberately
structured, with separate "client" and "server" aspects. For a one
PC user, both the "client" and the "server" run on the same PC
(and hence the this client/server division is transparent). But X
Window is designed such that the "client" and "server" can be
run on different machines. Hence, for example, with X11 and the
Secure Shell (ssh) program (see below), an X Window
application can run on a remote Linux PC, but with the graphics
window of the same application being displayed locally on a
"local" Linux PC. This is very useful for remote support/access
not only on a LAN, but also across the Internet
Four of the more popular desktops available for openSUSE are:
KDE
GNOME

48. KDE
KDE Software Compilation is the innovative Free
Software suite that increases your pleasure and
productivity
The default graphical environment on openSUSE is
usually known as KDE. Its full name is Plasma
Workspace from the KDE Project. KDE is a modern,
elegant, yet powerful graphical user interface (GUI).
.

49. What makes KDE on openSUSE
special?
● It has a team of dedicated engineers who spend much
of their time fixing bugs so you can rely on KDE
● It has a large, active and highly experienced
community team around it who bring multiple points
of view and different interests to the project so that
KDE on openSUSE meets many users' needs
● Through its innovation it stimulates the openSUSE
distribution to develop, evolve and progress

50. Gnome
openSUSE 13.2 comes with the latest and greatest that
the GNOME desktop has to offer — GNOME 3.14. At
the time of the release 13.2 offers GNOME 3.14.1,
which improves upon the user-experience of GNOME
3.10, that came with openSUSE 13.1, several notches,
featuring notably a much improved gnome-shell with
pretty-but-subtle animations and multi-touch
gestures for the first time. The core applications have
all seen remarkable activity during the development
of 3.14 (and earlier, 3.12), focused on exciting features
but also to make the desktop experience more unified
and consistent.

51. 3.2 Command line interface
The shell is a Command-Line Interface (CLI), much like MS-DOS was
(and the Command Prompt in Windows XP is), but with the full
power of Linux multitasking available. Dependent on how the shell is
entered, it may be full screen, or it may be in a window under a
Window Manager. Most common is the bash (Bourne-again shell),
where bash is a Unix shell written for the GNU Project. Bash is the
default shell on most Linux systems, as well as on Mac OS X and it can
be run on most Unix-like operating systems. In the case of openSUSE,
a bash shell can typically be used by starting the
program Konsole (<ALT><F2> and type "konsole") or by
startingxterm (<ALT><F2> and "xterm"). A Linux shell is used when
interfacing with the lower Linux boot levels. Applications can be
started from a shell, which can also be very useful a number of
reasons, such as for debugging problems.

flow when one user interacts with the computer running Linux

53. 3.2.1.1 Zypper
Zypper is a command line package manager for
installing, updating and removing packages as well as
for managing repositories. It is especially useful for
accomplishing remote software management tasks or
managing software from shell scripts.

54. 3.2.1.2 RPM—the Package
Manager
RPM (RPM Package Manager) is used for managing
software packages. Its main commands
are rpm andrpmbuild. The powerful RPM database
can be queried by the users, system administrators
and package builders for detailed information about
the installed software.
