Not to argue with you, but you are referring to that old company:
`Software und System Entwicklung`,
which meant "software and system development."
At least that's what I was told.
But that company is long gone. It left even before the Novell news
was announced. Look at your 9.0 Box, or go to the SUSE website,
and you will see what I mean.
Soon only "old foggies" wwill remember what S.u.S.E. use to stand for...
but hopefully SUSE will continue to stand for:
"a comunity where we all do what we can to improve things."
Oh, and don't forget, the correct pronunciation is "sue-zee" ;)
