This article mainly explains "what are the advantages of SuSE Linux". Interested friends may wish to have a look. The method introduced in this paper is simple, fast and practical. Let's let the editor take you to learn what are the advantages of SuSE Linux.

A brief history of SuSE Linux

The prototype of SuSE can be traced back to 10 years ago, that is, it was founded in 1993 by four Germans who still own SuSE: Hubert Mantel, Burchard Steinbild,Roland Dyroff and Thomas Fehr. Instead of developing its own operating system, the early SuSE company translated all scripts and comments from Slackware, a Linux operating system known for its stability, into German and distributed them on 40 floppy disks. Later, CD was used as the loading media for distribution.

Finally, the Germans decided to develop their own operating system instead of fixing Slackware's bugs. And hope to improve the operational performance of Slackware and add better installation and configuration tools. They transplanted an entry-level operating system from Florian LaRoche and improved it, which gave birth to SuSE's Linux operating system: SuSE Linux4.2. At the same time, SuSE also developed a famous system installation and configuration tool: YaST.

At the beginning of 1997, SuSE founded a North American company in Oakland, California, USA, and entered the world Linux system market.

Advantages of Linux

* is aesthetic and flexible, and Suse Linux is more flexible than Windows in many ways. The management of the desktop will be refined to an unexpected level. As long as you like, you can define the personalized interface in the operating system according to your own preferences, rotate each window as you like, and operate multiple windows at the same time, and you can also let the desktop move freely. let the window freely pull into different desktops, or let the window automatically pop into non-window after being pulled. It also allows the window to be magnified in real time while the picture remains dynamic. Compared with the once proud 3D desktop of Apple, I don't know how many times it is advanced! Most of the Suse Linux applications can be modified according to different needs and then recompiled, and the open source community's software is designed with high flexibility and modularity.

The second is the rapid repair of security and vulnerabilities: if you often surf the Internet, you will often hear people say, "there is no absolutely secure host." That's right. However, Suse Linux is also a kind of Linux, and it also has many supporters, and there are quite a number of enthusiastic groups and individuals involved in development, so you can get security information and update it at any time, which is relatively safe.

The third is multi-task and multi-platform scalability, different from Windows system, Suse Linux host can allow multiple people to work online at the same time, and the allocation of resources is more fair. This kind of multi-user and multi-task is a pretty good function of UNIX-like system. You can plan different levels of users on a Suse Linux host, and each user can log on to the system in a different work environment. You can also allow different users to log in to the host at the same time to use the host's resources at the same time.

Fourth, high stability Suse Linux is an operating system based on the concept of UNIX, which has a program interface and operation mode similar to that of UNIX system, and inherits the characteristics of stability and efficiency of UNIX. It is common for hosts with Suse Linux operating system to run continuously for more than a year without crashing or shutting down.

Effective Management of Suse Linux by Mocha BSM

Although the maintenance of Suse Linux system is relatively simple compared with commercial UNIX system, there are still some problems in the daily maintenance and management of Suse Linux system.

There are many distributions, and there are some differences among the products of different manufacturers. Such as Ubuntu, RedHat, RedFlag and so on, although they are all based on standard kernel versions, there are still many differences in system maintenance, software and hardware management, network management and so on. It is difficult to find a monitoring software to support so many versions, so many enterprises can only choose to invest in multiple monitoring software or give up monitoring some Suse Linux hosts. Now, this problem has been effectively solved through multiple Linux platforms supported by Mocha BSM.

As a large enterprise, there is often not only one distribution of Linux in use, so administrators need to learn the maintenance of a variety of systems. But the quantity is large, and the workload of management is huge. In the IT environment of some enterprises, the cluster Linux deployment architecture is often adopted, because the overall cost of using Linux system is low, and the distributed architecture can not only meet the high performance requirements of enterprise applications, but also reduce the total cost of ownership. In this way, administrators often need to maintain a large number of Linux hosts, and when the number of hosts reaches dozens or even hundreds, it is almost impossible to manage the tasks manually, which will reduce the running efficiency of the whole application system, so it is difficult to manage Linux and the number of hosts. Through unified monitoring and management, Mocha BSM can grasp the performance of the whole application system as a whole, with a wide range of monitoring indicators, flexible policy management and friendly interface.

A variety of alarm methods provide enterprises with the most professional data reports, and provide analysis of the root causes of downtime, help administrators solve problems faster, help enterprises to expand the capacity of the system and increase business, but the number of maintenance personnel can remain unchanged, so that end-users can get higher-quality application services.

At this point, I believe you have a deeper understanding of "what are the advantages of SuSE Linux". You might as well do it in practice. Here is the website, more related content can enter the relevant channels to inquire, follow us, continue to learn!
