Install OpenSUSE in VirtualBox

Software- und System-Entwicklung (i.e. Software and System Development), abbreviated: SUSE was born in Germany on 2 September 1992. Based on the Linux operating system, they developed an operating system called SUSE, of which first release was called SUSE Linux 1.0, and it became the oldest GNU/Linux release.

In 2005 the openSUSE project was started with the goal of opening up development and involve the community more.

In 2010 Novell was acquired by Attachmate. The deal was finalized in April 2011, and one of the first actions of Attachmate was to split SUSE into a separate business unit independant of Novell, and move SUSE headquarters back to Nuremberg, Germany. In 2014 Micro Focus merged with Attachmate, but this did not affect SUSE nor the openSUSE Project.
