    Comments about openSUSE as an Alternative to GeckoLinux

    Gecko is based directly on OpenSUSE (the rolling or LTS versions) but with some tweaks, particularly in that Gecko comes with different desktops already pre-optimized. Under the hood and in 99% of all other respects, OpenSUSE and Gecko are the same. It's just Gecko has some things done to it for convenience.
