10.0 will be in both versions. A retail box (SUSE Linux 10.0) and
the OSS version (openSUSE 10.0).

SUSE Linux 10.0 will have the shiny box and handbooks and the non-OSS
packages (and perhaps more benefits I do not know right now).

In the future, both openSUSE and SUSE Linux will diverge more, once
we get to Stage2 or Stage3 of the openSUSE project.
