Also I would like to avoid confussion.  I still remember all the problems 
with SUSE Linux and SuSE Enterpise Linux.  I may have the names wrong in 
my memory.  I just know that I had people often not buy the correct one. 
There always was a lot of confussion between the two.  The name may have 
had Professional in it.  I really want people getting what they want 
because it is a clear difference.
