The collaboration tools included makes it a perfect and cheap replacement for a Windows OS. I tested SUSE Linux for introducing my students to Linux BASH shell scripting and I didn't want them to be intimidated by the use of Linux for the first time. SUSE Linux was so appealing to them and many of them had the inception that they can be a viable replacement for Windows or MAC OSX. Moreover, I was impressed with the networking support in SUSE Linux. I tried several server configurations on it and it was capable of handling the job very efficiently on the business logic layer using Apache Tomcat and on the data persistence layer using MySQL. > > **Cons**: This product is not free. SUSE has an OpenSUSE free community edition but we would like to keep the free Linux-spirit out there.
