Hello,
I’m having a bit of difficultly figuring out how to get a raspberry pi 3 zero w to run Suse Linux.
Does anyone have any instructions. I have seen instruction for Kali Linux, and the Reason4 Kali Linux kernel,
but I am more familiar with openSuse and wanted to set up a lamp.
Thank you ahead of time.

Here are the instructions for Raspberry Pi 3. It uses the 64 bit images. Zero W is a 32 bit processor, which is not supported by openSUSE atm.
But the usage is generally this: you need an SD card, extract the openSUSE image onto it, and put it into the Rasp. You should have a HDMI capable monitor at this point. Attach it to the monitor, then power up the board. Now you can optionally set up your connection to the internet (remain with cable, or go with wifi), and then SSH. After that, you can connect to it without a monitor, with one of your other computers.
At work I used Raspbian to make a LAMP server, but generally you could do the same with Zypper too. I installed apache2, mysql, php5 and php5mcrypt.
Good description.
Small comment, just like in the x86 openSUSE distros, you should be able to use zypper or YaST to install the LAMP pattern instead of installing individual LAMP components unless you want more control over exactly what you want installed.

Alright, thanks for the heads up.
I had been able to install SLED, and openSUSE on the Raspberry 3 b. It is up and running. I did not realize that the Zero W was a 32 bit.
I really don’t know how I missed that.
Welp, so instead I have Kali Linux on the zero now fully up to data and all. It is a bit slow with all that however.
Thanks for waking me up to it being 32 and not 64.

Actually Pi 3 is the only 64 bit Raspberry, every other is 32 bit.
Yes, they are all a bit slow, at least compared to today’s computers. They have processors of 800-1200MHz, which can be a little underwhelming, even for simpler tasks.
