The quarterly releases allow the SuSE Development Team to bring the latest Linux software and technical innovations to the market. However, while Linux itself is continuously updated, SuSE controls its own releases. SuSE only incorporates updates to the heart of the Linux operating system, the kernel, when stable and when they provide performance improvements. Experimental software outside the kernel is always labeled as such and comes with documentation. SuSE ensures both innovation and stability with every release.
Technical information is always available online through the support database .
The SuSE Linux distribution is also frequently praised for having excellent documentation, comprehensive hardware support, and an encyclopedic set of Linux tools. SuSE supports businesses with its distribution as well as with associated applications running on the SuSE Linux platform.
