As an openSUSE user from 6.4 to 10.3 and now with 11.3 I prefer "Have
a lot fun" than "A Novell business" - yes, for a time it was also on
the logo.

interesting, u should be the only openSUSE user since 6.4 because that version
never existed.

Yeah he was talking about SUSE 6.4 that existed

there was never "Have a lot of fun" in the logo and "A Novell business" also
only on to boxes it was written under the logo, but that means not it is
included in the logo.

Also as SUSE there was under the logo not only on to the boxes,take a
better look here
(http://pcforum.hu/site.pc/text/quicknews/12264/suse-a-novell-business.jpg)

including more then openSUSE in the logo makes no sense no company includes a
slogan in her logo.

and btw ur slogan isnt "Have a lot of fun"

He didn't said that our slogan is "Have a lot of fun" ,he said that he
prefer this better than "A Novell business", but either way his
mistake is that here we are talking about openSUSE and not SUSE and no
I am not a lawyer I am a Seasonal firefighter (my real job)but there
is no need to be so ironic,this is not the reason we are here for...

I agree with Bruno at the fun and the other use of f... part,also I
agree with Helen at the graphic part,why don't you try to give a
picture of people having fun instead of texting it?
I still get nervous when I hear Ubuntu's "linux for human beings" and
I think "Linux for the masses" or Fedora's "Fedora fails… and that’s a
good thing!" and I think "oh yes?for whom?", I first heard this after
trying to install Fedora 64 bit for a whole afternoon and failed
because of a bug or something that existed for my processor. I believe
you get my point ;-)

Well, German is easy: "Habt viel Spaß!" If you say it to somebody you
know and you can you (german "Du")
and "Haben Sie viel Spaß" if you... well that´s not easy to explain in
English. On French it will be much difference than the English, I
agree. My French is not so good, so I don´t can´t say what´s in French
:(

And (I forget) how would you deal with the i18n of this thing

It's pretty impossible to get the same sense in french in a so short
sentence.
I'm pretty sure it's the same for German, what about the right to left
language should we flip the geeko
and those written top to bottom.

Anyway for my opinion, the logo and just the mark is just good .

Yes and no second part :D

In fact, the have lot's of fun, should automagically disappear, when a
bug hits you.
Becauce, it's not always a lot of fun but some sort of other f...

I can easily make people very angry, when they are in trouble, and you
spread "wrong message".

Imagine people blocked by a strike, and the slogan is "With our
compagny you're on time" etc...

Yes and no.

I'm very sensitive to text, and hate having text on absolutely
everything - I'm always compelled to read it. openSUSE I start to see
as a graphic, but reading 'have a lot of fun' all the time, I'd be
compelled to change my wallpaper.

Simple=good. IMHO.

I'd prefer to see 'have a lot of fun' jotted in casual typeface, like
grafiti across at an angle below the logo, and only used in some
cases. (eg merchandise, optional wallpaper).

interesting idea though, to make the slogan more well known is
worthwhile.

I think
the slogan should be in the logo. Maybe under the "openSUSE". If
you open
the picture I send with this mail, you see my idea. Yes, the logo is
really
little, but I think, their愀 a good marketing team;)
