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 12.2 with xfce4. We then add all the options for software development. Prior versions 12.1 with xfce4, and 11.4 with Gnome remain in use on some systems.
