In the most points, I agree with you. But How shall we name it during the 
discussion on the Mailing list?
Well, I think you´re right and it´s more important to talk about the 
resources that project will need.

They are three important issues:

1.) Support: This is one of the major problems. If I want to use a LTS 
version, I need Support, right? Who want to give the support. I don´t know 
but _I_ need secure, when I use a LTS version.

2.) Updates: Yes, maybe it´s the same like support, but updates are 
important. An example is the Kernel. I don´t need a LTS version, that needs 
a new kernel every month. There´s a LTS kernel the right choose. But If I 
use the LTS version for a server, I want to have the latest security 
updates. How we can realize that there are the updates for the system? Maybe 
we can use Thumbleweed for updates (e.g. for Firefox or Thunderbird) these 
programmes are not so "important" like KDE or GNOME. I think a LTS version 
don´t need the latest desktop environment. But the latest browser is a 
"must-have", because of security.

3.) Publishing: With which version we would start? How we would build it? I 
mean if it base on openSUSE 11.3, and we release it in March 2011, 11.4 
comes in a few days. Maybe a SLE-clone is much better than a system that 
base on openSUSE. Hope you know what I mean.

kind regards and good luck for the project

Hi,

People often say I complicate things too much... Adryan offered the
resources... forget the name for time being and focus on what you want
to do, people that are available and for what... take Adryan offer and
start it... decide the name later... For what I've seen around there
is nice demand for a openSUSE Server oriented solution. If there are
people available to make it happen... sure... go for it... By now
everyone has an idea of possible problems... instead of pointed them,
start dropping some solutions instead.

Then when the time comes and you need to name your creation or
reflection of the community, you think on the name and how you want to
position yourselfs with openSUSE without 'offending' (I really don't
know the right word for their) our sponsors.

In the end, it will end up dependably mostly on the people maintaining
it until some visibility is build around it. I personally like the
idea of a solution more server oriented. This will also probably
increase the number of overall packages available if the community
finds it Since such a project might bring lots of new synergies around
openSUSE, maybe we should forget the name and positioning for now,
leaving it for later.
