Welcome to the Documentation Portal Edit
The openSUSE project aims to provide the highest quality documentation.

This wiki is edited and refined by our community. There are also more traditional manuals at doc.opensuse.org and release notes. People can contribute via the github doc-o-o repository.


Anyone can contribute to the Wiki. Have a look at the Wiki help pages and if you have an extra interest in wiki maintenance, join the Wiki team.

There is a list of available manuals that you can contribute to and help to localize.

openSUSE internals

openSUSE special configuration tools are usually named "YaST", because most of the work is done through YaST, but there are several independent tools one can get to know. We will try to have here a better documentation or links for these tools.

  • YaST - The installation and system management tool
  • Libzypp - The package management library
  • Zypper - The package manager command line interface
  • SuSEfirewall2 - The openSUSE firewall script
