Well I would not say it is widely used. Not as much as Fedora or Ubuntu certainly. We used it in our college to the extent that we had local openSUSE repositories on the network but if you talk about the openSUSE community, there is a very low-traffic opensuse-india list. Jigish Gohil from Vadodara drives the list and the very small community. Infact I can count on a single finger how many active openSUSE evangelists exist on mailing lists in India.
well, most of the opensuse users I have come across use computers to get things done - and since opensuse works out of the box, there is very little to discuss about. My kids have opensuse on their netbooks, and it just works - including wireless, movies and music (which is all kids care about anyway). In ubuntu nothing works properly which is why there is a huge noise on their fora (which is out of proportion to the number of users). Fedora is experimental, but of late very well behaved. As for Redhat, much more stable and supported, so less noise.
