The observatory's servers and control computers run on the openSuse distribution of Linux-based software. New systems are built with the 64-bit version 12.1. We install the base DVD with gnome the default user inteface on workstations, and xfce on other hardware. We then add all the options for software development. The prior version 11.4 with Gnome remains in use on most systems.
During installation:
At the initial splash screen add the boot parameter "nomodeset" if a recent NVidia graphics card or GPU is present.
Add "nomodeset" to the kernel boot parameter list. It is already in failsafe.
Select Gnome as default display on systems with NVidia hardware and otherwise use xfce.
Select almost all packages including PHP, MySQL, and Apache except those clearly not needed.

Remove DVD from source
Update NVidia drivers and kernel if NVidia hardware is present
Reboot and configure display
