Yes, but I really meant the fact that typing SuSE required just a bit of extra effort to get it right. And there is a reason behind having the lower-case 'u'. It is, IMO, an insult to the German language to ignore that detail. I could be wrong, but I suspect SUSE is an Americanism. I am quite proud of my 31+ decades of American ancestry, but this tendency to "normalize" every nuance of a foreign culture is utterly offensive.
Steven, The USA didn't do it, SUSE, the company you are trying to enforce your ideas of proper usage upon, did it. They likely had good and sufficient reasons for doing it. Probably too many Americans were confused about the switch *back* to caps *after* the "u".
