BTW, I know of at least two German computer magazines that decided to ignore the changing case and style (first with dots, then without and now all capitals) and instead write it like any other Name, i.e. only the first letter capitalized.

I've tried to break my lowercase 'U' habit... linux:/home/carl # SUSEconfig bash: SUSEconfig: command not found Clearly more work is needed to cement this change ;-) My 2 cents, - Carl

I Personally like SuSE myself of course I have been signing my name that way since I started using computers that had Upper/lower case. :)

But you are missing the point,ie: when a lady gets married, she _usually_ takes the family name of her husband. From then on you address her as <first-name><last-name-of-husband>, not <first-name><previous-last-name>. As per a SUSE employe, Philipp Thomas, announced previously on _this_ list, the name is no longer SuSE, but _is_ SUSE by their own design. Of course, you can call mickey$oft dirt, if you desire, and your meaning would still be understood. pATRICK sHANAHAN -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

That's not universal. For example, in Spain, and probably in all the Spanish heritage countries, wives do not change their surnames. Furthermore, we inherit both surnames, from father and mother. It has been so for some centuries, which is curious, lets say. But we digress ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDfHXTtTMYHG2NR9URAl+7AJ4qCx/MiYRDpbyhw5eootdlZGhVnwCghEAm Xvh9bKNU18hHMUVwL5/hgaM= =zqyO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
