openSUSE Leap 15.0 (64-bit)
openSUSE is a community-driven Linux project sponsored by SUSE. The openSUSE "Leap" edition uses source code from the high-end SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE), making it unusually stable and robust for a free community Linux. The latest version comes with a new feature that supports easy migration to SLE. Other changes include enhanced container support, new development tools, and several improvements to the YaST management feature.
Linux Mint 19 "Tara" Cinnamon Edition (64-bit)
Mint is a popular Linux desktop edition based on Ubuntu. The latest version is a long-term support release, with support provided until 2023. Mint 19 features the new Timeshift tool, which makes it easy to restore your system to a previous system snapshot. The edition included on this month's DVD features the Cinnamon desktop, which is based on Gnome 3. Cinnamon 3.8 offers better performance, improved sound control, and enhanced search capabilities.
