openSUSE 12.2 is the second openSUSE release to include Gnome 3. It was original scheduled to be released in June but it was postponed for almost two months in order to deliver a more quality experience.
openSUSE has always been an all-purpose distribution. It is appropriated for users that want a Linux Desktop for just surfing on Web or for users that want to use it as a workstation or as a home server and media center.
