Books
- The Producing Open Source Software by Karl Fogel is not about any specific operating system or distribution. It is about making a successfull opensource project and that makes it worth reading to any openSUSE member.
- Linux in a Nutshell Now in it's 5th edition printing is a highly recommended book from beginning Linux users to the more advanced. Linux in a Nutshell 5th edition will get anyone new to Linux up and running with a base of knowledge from which to grow from - in addition it offers more advanced users a handy detailed reference.
openSUSE internals
openSUSE special configuration tools are usually named "YaST", because most of the work is done through YaST, but there are several independant tools one can get to know. We will try to have here a better documentation or links for these tools.
- YaST Documentation Portal
- SaX2 the X Window configuration utility
- SuSEfirewall2 - The openSUSE firewall script
- siga - The System Information Gathering tool of openSUSE
- SuSEconfig - The system wide configuration script and its config files.
