Also, because using that name, was being accepted in part these features: openSUSE Linux: Make it Global (Worldwide) in the World: https://features.opensuse.org/312629 (312629) Change the name SuSE Linux, by its present name openSUSE Linux: https://features.opensuse.org/310156 (310156) openSUSE Linux 12.1: Increased variety of packages, all packages: https://features.opensuse.org/312628 (312628) Discussion: #1: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2011-08-03 23:46:13) See this link: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/pre-release-beta/...

This is a vague wish, not a specific, actionable feature request. + #4: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2011-08-06 22:29:27) (reply to #2) + About half of your list are not even firewall implementations, but + merely frontends. And perhaps get along with the fact that the + diversity of them just exists because people could not agree on doing + it exactly one way. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312708
