Re: [opensuse-project] Distributing a distribution based on openSUSE 11.2 and created with SUSE Studio

Thanks for all the replies!

Well, my question was motivated by the fact I would *not* like to
remove the Geeko icon in the KDE menu and the artwork, because that
would make openSUSE quite anonymous, and my idea is also related to
promoting openSUSE in the scientific world, where I keep finding Red
Hat and CentOS on my road just because they know them. Is there any
chance I can maintain those, so that users can actually understand its
openSUSE? ;-)

What does 'redistribution' mean in your case? I mean, how many openSUSE
based appliances are on the road which haven't cared?

Redistribution means putting the ISO of the live on sourceforge (I
actually created a project already called CFDGeeko, but that was
before I knew all the details on the de-brading) so others can
actually find it and use it.
I know many do not care of the guidelines, but I don't want troubles,
even if I find the "de-branding" quite annoying, and I don't
understand how it can help us to market openSUSE, when the resulting
distro looks like a "hand-made" distribution with default upstream
logos. :-(

Best,
Alberto
