Dear opensuse-on-Raspi-Folks,
I read the last couple of months of the mails on the opensuse-arm mailinglist, but I am not sure:
Is openSUSE 13.x usable on a Raspberry B+ or 2? If I find one of the few images that are installing correctly, can I keep it up to date and secure without issues?
I have a Raspberry Pi 1B running now for a few years with openSUSE 13.2 as a server; e-mail, imap and apache and a small other application. Obviously a 1B+ or a 2B are also usable as servers. It very much depends on the load it has to cope with. However the image I started with, 13.2, is no longer available and there are no updates for this version. AFAIK currently the only working image with openSUSE Tumbleweed is for a 2B. The available openSUSE Tumbleweed images for 1B are not working, but I still have a working image which I can make available after private communication. The repositories for this Tumbleweed version gets regular updates and I have no problems when updating the systems (1B and 2B).
(I am not talking about Tumbleweed, I'd prefer something less time consuming. And I do not mean I would take lots of manual intervention, its just lots and lots of updates and the occasional configuration change)
There is not really a need to do updates unless it is a security update that affects the security of your system. So after installation and configuration you can leave the system as be. No need to keep up with Tumbleweed.
Ideally this would mean 13.1 or 13.2 being usable, or maybe Leap is going to be usable. Anyone tried Leap yet?
I am not aware that there is a Leap version for the Raspberry Pi. Not even considered.
Thanks in advance for your input!
Johannes
