If you don't know what SuSE means, look it up.
Wrong, it's SUSE. The special meaning it once had is purely historical.

You mean quality and attention to detail?

That's a bit harsh - I know everyone's been having a fit about KDE, and I'd prefer to see it remain the default myself. But SUSE (now I know) 10 is a fantastic job. I'm having a ton of fun with it ...
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
