I am unable to locate in documentation which flavors of Linux/UNIX is supported.  We are looking to test Confluence deployment with SUSE Enterprise 12.  Is this supported?

Short version:  It is.

Atlassian don't name any Linux distributions because there's just... so... many...   Heck, I'm running 6 different ones in my house right now (CentOS, Ubuntu, DietPi several times, OpenElec, OSMC, Sparky) and that's ignoring the variants on the 'phones and embedded devices.

So, they simply say that they support "Most Linux variants", and qualify that with the caveat that your Linux variant must be fully supported for the versions of Java you might run Atlassian stuff with.  (Also, to be pedantic, they don't actually support Unix at all any more, as Linux is not Unix, but I'm only saying that because my friends will tell me off if I don't and Richard Stallman is scarier than me)

As Suse 12 can run Oracle Java 1.7 and 1.8, you are supported on it.

There is a second caveat - they only test the installer on CentOS.  So if you're not using CentOS and have problems with it, they won't support you, and simply recommend you use the .tar.gz distributions instead (although, it can't hurt to ask.  Despite not officially supporting things, they do still try to help)
