hi all, after seeing seeing some of the articles about SuSE 7.0, with pictures of the new packages, I came to wonder... whats the deal with the artwork/design on SuSE's packages? whats the concept behind those strange objects? what are those strange three dimensional objects on the packaging? mind you, I'm not complaining that the new packaging looks like a beowulf cluster of green golf tees, or a blue spiked blob hovering in white space. I am just curious as if there is any significant meaning behind the odd, but cool, artwork / design on SuSE's packages. does anyone have any insight? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

The "Introduction" section of the SuSE manual would shed some light on that question. To quote the 6.3 manual: "Septics with nodes A one parameter family of surfaces of degree seven (septics) with 63 ordinary double points (nodes) admitting the symnetries of the seven-gon is given (by affine coordinates) by the equation...." Much math follows.... Seems that all the artwork, by Stefan Endrass, BTW, has some sort of mathematical function -- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Jon Tillman LINUX USER: #141163 ICQ: 4015362 tillmanj@sccoast.net http://tillman.freehosting.net ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

The artwork is based on mathematical formulas. Victor -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
