Strange, esp for admin purposes most would consider a fat client, and for end

Sure. The openSUSE build service des not stop your from making the choise for 
your preferred distro.

openSUSE is not locking you from anything. The idea behind building Tryton on 
openSUSE was 
- have precompiled packages for every openSUSE release
- have all dependencies automatically resolved on the system side (so you dont 
have to bother with it during installation)
- make use of available packages (e.g. from devel:languages:python, for the 
a.m. dependencies))
- install using system tools (zypper) for installation and upgrade
- make use of standard system features like automatic start/restart using 
systemd

Once Tryton is available on openSUSE, GNU Health was build additionally as 
aditional module on Tryton. It is intended to run in a production environment 
, not for testing with multiple (virtualenv) instances.

HTH, if not, let me know your questions
