+Install MongoDB on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
+==============================================================
+
+.. default-domain:: mongodb
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+This tutorial outlines the basic installation process for deploying
+:term:`MongoDB` on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and openSUSE. This procedure uses
+``.rpm`` packages as the basis of the installation. 10gen publishes
+packages of the MongoDB releases as ``.rpm`` packages for easy installation and 
+management for users. While some of these distributions include their
+own MongoDB packages, the 10gen packages are generally more up to date.
+
+This tutorial includes: an overview of the available packages,
+instructions for configuring the package manager, the install process,
+ and preliminary MongoDB configuration and operation.

+
+Package Availability
+--------------------
+
+Packages are available for different version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
+ and openSUSE, please refer to
+
+.. code-block:: cfg
+
+  http://software.opensuse.org/package/mongodb
+
+
+
+Install MongoDB
+---------------
+
+Configure Package Management System
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Create a repository for the installation method. If you are running a
+ 64-bit system (recommended,) execute:
+.. code-block:: cfg
+
+	zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database/SLE_11_SP3/x86_64/ mongodb
+
+
+If you are running a 32-bit system, which isn't recommended for
+production deployments, place the following configuration in
+``/etc/yum.repos.d/10gen.repo`` file:
+
+.. code-block:: cfg
+
+	zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database/SLE_11_SP3/i586/ mongodb
+
+
+Install Packages
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Issue the following command (as ``root`` or with ``sudo``) to install
+the latest stable version of MongoDB and the associated tools:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   zypper in mongodb
+
+When this command completes, you have successfully installed MongoDB!
+
+Configure MongoDB
+-----------------
+
+These packages configure MongoDB using the ``/etc/mongod.conf`` file
+in conjunction with the :term:`control script`.  You can find the init
+script at ``/etc/rc.d/init.d/mongodb``.
+
+This MongoDB instance will store its data files in the
+``/var/lib/mongodb`` and its log files in ``/var/log/mongodb``, and
+run using the ``mongodb`` user account.
+
+.. note::
+
+   If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you will need
+   to modify the access control rights to the ``/var/lib/mongodb`` and
+   ``/var/log/mongodb`` directories.
+
+
+Start MongoDB
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Start the :program:`mongod` process by issuing the following command
+(as root, or with ``sudo``):
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   service mongodb start
+
+You can verify that the :program:`mongod` process has started
+successfully by checking the contents of the log file at
+``/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log``.
+
+You may optionally, ensure that MongoDB will start following a system
+reboot, by issuing the following command (with root privileges:)
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   chkconfig mongodb on
+
+Stop MongoDB
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Stop the :program:`mongod` process by issuing the following command
+(as root, or with ``sudo``):
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   service mongodb stop
+
+Restart MongoDB
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can restart the :program:`mongod` process by issuing the following
+command (as root, or with ``sudo``):
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   service mongodb restart
+
+Follow the state of this process by watching the output in the
+``/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log`` file to watch for errors or important
+messages from the server.
+
+
+Using MongoDB
+-------------
+
+Included in the package, is the :program:`mongo` shell. You can connect 
+to your MongoDB instance byissuing the following command at the system prompt:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   mongo
+
+This will connect to the database running on the localhost interface
+by default. At the :program:`mongo` prompt, issue the following two
+commands to insert a record in the "test" :term:`collection` of the
+(default) "test" database and then retrieve that document.
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+   db.test.save( { a: 1 } )
+   db.test.find()
+
+.. seealso:: ":program:`mongo`" and ":doc:`/reference/method`"
