I have acquired Asus RS500A-E6/PS4 server (http:// ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Server & Workstation- ASUS RS500A-E6/PS4), it supports OS Windows® Server 2008 Enterprise 32/64-bit, Windows® Server 2003 R2 Enterprise 32/64-bit, RedHat® Enterprise Linux AS5.0 32/64-bit, SuSE® Linux Enterprise Server 10 32/64-bit.
But I couldn’t find the information on support by the given server of operating system openSUSE. I would like to use openSUSE on the given server.
You couldn’t prompt on the server:
Whether will work and all capacities of the server on openSUSE are used?
Whether is the driver for openSUSE or will approach the driver for SuSE® Linux Enterprise Server 10 32/64-bit.?
Thank you very much!
Excuse me for my English!
Yours faithfully, Ivan!
SuSE® Linux Enterprise products are grounded on the work and development of openSUSE
Which means it’s likely that openSUSE will work very well for you.
You understand that SuSE® Linux Enterprise products have Long Term Support
Where openSUSE does not, though there are now options to you, to achieve something along those lines.

you English is great! -=WELCOME=- new poster
but, if you wish to use SuSE® Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10
32/64-bit (which your server is certified to work well with), you should
join the folks over at the commercial side…
and download the commercial, enterprise ready system of your choice
(i’d bet SLES version 11 also works on your system, but ask in the SLES
forum)…
here, you are in the openSUSE forum…we are ‘relatted’ to the
enterprise product, but the two are not the same…if you have
enterprise needs, you need enterprise software with long term support…
you can try it out for sixty days without cost, after that the security
update support agreement is far less expensive and the other enterprise
offerings…

Only the enterprise version of SUSE can tell you that they support or not
certain machine. There is not such info for openSUSE. Here we are just
users helping other users.
Chances are that openSUSE will work just as well, but we can not say,
unless one of the readers here has the same machine as you.

No idea what driver you mean.

Hi
Are the applications your planning to run supported on openSUSE? The
kernel version between SLE 10 and openSUSE may be an issue if they
(ASUS) provide a driver disk for RAID, NIC etc as it may not compile on
a newer kernel.
Just download an openSUSE live CD and see how it goes?
