Did you know that SUSE provides [free documentation](https://www.suse.com/documentation/) for all of our products to the general public in multiple languages and in multiple formats? Not only that, it is released under the GNU Free Documentation or under a Creative Commons license. As a big fan of the work that the [Creative Commons](https://creativecommons.org/) folks do, this makes me proud to work for a company that actually cares about giving back to the community. Not only is our documentation freely available, so are our [knowledgebase](https://www.suse.com/support/) articles. Unlike other companies, we don't give just a few lines of the article and then prompt the user to buy our products in order to fix a problem. Also, now that SLE\* and OpenSUSE share the same direct codebase, a problem solved in one product can easily be used to fix the other.

There are currently 20 manuals and white papers for SLES 12 SP 2 and 6 for OpenSUSE Leap 42.2. For the Linux newbie, spending $50+ for a paper book on one product at the local bookstore that will be out of date in two years is a huge investment. It makes sense for anyone wanting to get into Linux and Open Source to start with a distribution that makes it easy.
