It is a completely valid platform, and a lot of us depend on it for real-world production use in the enterprise. Even companies over $200 million in revenue and into the billions use it for this purpose. That's not even considering the embedded devices industry, which would not use SLES, but which are very much high demand environments. There are even router platforms based on it. but that's not the point. LAMP is a way of life, it is not for us to dictate what users do with their platforms, it is for them to dictate to us their needs. Bottom-line OpenSUSE is a well-founded desktop and server platform designed for everyone from the individual home user to the high-end enterprise.
