The choice for the distro was made based on the recommendation of the person who is helping and nothing more. It is NOT for a production environment, it is to explore a proof of concept and to see what can be done.

I’ll cross the distro bridge another time…..

  I know that Fedora and redhat are related and how, not so sure on the SuSE genealogy. It is my understanding that OpenSuse is the "development" version of SuSE in the same way that Fedora is the "development" version of Redhat.  My point being (as has been discussed in the last few messages) that since this is to be a production environment, the bleeding edge version is not the best choice.

No, Fedora is related to RedHat. Fedora is community driven and bleeding
edge, from which RedHat is derived. CentOS is a rebranded (from sources)
 RedHat. People will commonly refer to CentOS systems as being RHEL
(which they are for the most part).

OpenSuSE uses rpms, and it too has an Enterprise version, but that's
about all that it has in common with Fedora/RedHat/CentOS.
