I sat and carefully studied all the comments about RH's plans.

Previously, the small x86-64 clusters I supported used OpenSuSE for a
number of years, then on the next cluster I decided to switch to
CentOS 7 simply because of its large popularity in HPC and the greater
breadth of packages available.

BTW, I'm using CentOS 7 and on my home desktop (working with GNOME).
And in general, I want to have the same distribution  both at home and
in the cluster. So Ubuntu is a good starting point for me in the
future :-) (Nvidia loves Ubuntu on their GPU servers, but it's all for
AI).

But I would also like to hear your point of view about SLES / OpenSuSE
- after all, HPC Cray OS is based on SuSE.
