AppArmor

Included with SUSE Linux, AppArmor is an application security tool designed to provide a highly secure yet easy to use security framework for your applications. AppArmor proactively protects the operating system and applications from external or internal threats, even zero-day attacks, by enforcing good behavior and preventing even unknown application flaws from being exploited.

Better Desktop

Better Desktop is a project dedicated to sharing usability data with Linux developers. Over the past year, we have conducted many usability tests on different parts of the KDE and GNOME desktops. We created a site to serve as a place where developers can watch videos of these tests. Here you will find over 200 videos of people using Mozilla Firefox, Evolution, Open Office, Banshee, F-Spot, and other applications.

Build Service

The openSUSE Build Service makes package building easy. It provides a farm of servers and infrastructure to build packages for SUSE and other distributions. The Build Service can conveniently be accessed by a web interface or via a command line client. An API for use by specialized client software is available as well.

JackLab

Recently there is a place to go for musicians and media producers who want to use openSUSE Linux. "JackLab" takes care of the communication between openSUSE users and developers. JackLab would like to stimulate an entrance CD ISO with the help of openSUSE community that contains a complete music production environment.

MiniSUSE

The openSUSE mini project aims to make creation of small memory SUSE-based Distribution.

OpenVZ virtualization

OpenVZ allows to run multiple Virtual Environments (VE) on a physical server. It is running a single kernel and is very efficient, allowing to run hundreds of VEs with different Linux distributions inside on moderate hardware.

SLICK

SLICK stands for Suse LIte: Core + Kde, or, if you prefer, Simple LInux: Core + Kde. It is a (potential) project to create a lightweight, desktop-oriented, easy-to-use Linux distribution based on SUSE Linux via the openSUSE community.

YaST

YaST is the installation and configuration tool for SUSE Linux. It is popular for its easy use and attractive interface and the capability to quickly customize your system during or after the installation. YaST guides you through the installation of SUSE Linux. The installation is divided into a few steps. YaST can be used to configure a wide range of settings, like hardware, system, security, network, etc.
