openSUSE is a desktop, a server, a development platform.
The default installation - and the way questions are asks - are targetting the desktop users.
Still, you can setup a server - and many do. It's just not the*primary* target.
I agree Andreas. For example, I've got one box with dual Xeon CPUs, 48-GB of ram and six LSI and 3Ware disk controllers. The disks are configured as two 24-disk RAID-6 arrays and 96 independent JBOD disks. It also has four 160-GB SSDs configured as a RAID-5 for the operating system. The disks themselves are a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 terrabyte Seagates. There are two Ethernet ports, one of which is used for NFS traffic. I know, it's an odd configuration, but it meets the needs of a specific project. It was running openSuSE 11.4 until I bumped it up to 12.1 a few months ago. The box also supports scientific data processing and visualization using Python and SciPy. The box, and openSuSE, have been lifesavers for this project, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the participants and developers for their good work. They are appreciated and they are making real-world contributions to society. BTW, I had to revert to sysvinit to get reliable booting with the Big Box. But I've been using Systemd on all my other boxes without issue.
