openSUSE VPS Hosting
openSUSE Tumbleweed is a rolling-release Linux image with current packages, zypper, and openSUSE's administration conventions. It is a good fit for users who like Tumbleweed on workstations, want recent packages on a VPS, or need to test services against openSUSE. As with any rolling release, the tradeoff is operational attention: updates are part of the deal.
