OpenSuse

The observatory's servers and control computers run on the openSuse distribution of Linux-based software. Currently new systems are built with the 64-bit version 11.4, and we are phasing out older versions. We install the base DVD with Gnome, and add all the options for software development.

Remove DVD from source

Perform updates based on default web source as needed

Include source links for mozilla, packman, vlc, gnome, education
