Interesting.
He used half day to think about effect of one comma.
Would we ever have something memorable with a thought on sword that will cut
on a deadline?
I had some time to look at the page, asking myself:"Is it carved in a stone
that slogan has to begin with 'openSUSE - '?"
No, it isn't. Although, I really like the most:
"openSUSE is good for you."
Rationale:
- Not used as motto anywhere that I know.
- Answering the question:"Why I should buy openSUSE?"
- Being specific and brief about openSUSE involves words from computer jargon,
and that really doesn't cut well in public.
- It can be used as a part of different sentences:
The power of openSUSE is good for you.
The <attribute> of openSUSE is good for you.
The only thing that makes trouble (to me); it is hard to start sentence with
openSUSE. I'm wondering how other solved the problem?
nVidia

They resorted to NVIDIA.
opensolaris
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/
They use OpenSolaris.
eBay
http://www.ebay.com/
Is persistent with eBay.
adidas is now Adidas
Not many examples to look at.
