openSUSE LEAP 42.1 and ClearOS 7.2
ON the DVD
openSUSE Leap 42.1 (64-bit) INSTALL ONLY
The openSUSE community offers the "first Linux hybrid distro," which combines source from SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) with community contributions in an effort to provide a balance between innovation and maturity. The SLE contributions in Leap now share the same maintenance stream with the enterprise software. Leap sports the CUPS upgrade to v1.7, which shifts printing from PostScript-based to PDF-based job processing. Also on board are the Qemu 2.3.1 and VirtualBox 5.0.6 virtualization options, as well as the Docker 1.8.2 container tool. Btrfs is the default filesystem, with XFS available for performance, and the innovative Snapper tool offers convenient system snapshots for easy recovery.
ClearOS 7.2 (64-bit) INSTALL ONLY
ClearOS, also known as the Next-Generation Small Business Server, is an IT solution for homes, small to medium-sized businesses, and distributed environments. ClearOS features an elegant web-based user interface and a modular design, with apps and services available in the ClearOS Marketplace. Version 7.2 now supports LVM caching and has improved support for virtual machines. In addition to the gateway and networking functionality expected in server distros, ClearOS includes:
- Intrusion detection
- Bandwidth management
- Domain controller
- Mail server
- Firewall
