Ahh that's a never-ending question. :-)

When in Germany, I hear it pronounced as "sue-zeh" and that's pretty much what I go by these days.

I can envision a great marketing ploy. We video people around the world trying to say openSUSE. It would be great fun. -Alan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

:) It is like in any language. What you see written, is pronounced according to rules of that language, unless someone takes time and enclose audio of "original" pronunciation. In SUSE case, original was using German rules to convert text to speech, until owner became Novell, now it could be different :) In general problem is that without audio reference available next to the written text, people will read using their language rules how to convert text to speech. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Seriously, I call it opensoose (german pronounciation.) But I think it doesn´t matter. A German calls Linux as "Linuchs" and some Americans as "Linax" or "Lainex". So, how cares really about it? kdl -- Kim Leyendecker (kimleyendecker@hotmail.de) openSUSE Ambassador powered by openSUSE 11.3 KDE Kernel-desktop 2.6.34-12& using Tumbleweed This mail was composed under Linux Have you tried SUSE Studio?
