Hi all,

Besides the "what's cool in openSUSE" I also worked on the arguments on our talking page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Talking_points#Why_openSUSE

Have a look, add, fix, comment please!!!

I added a lot of things, and certainly forgot a lot as well. I don't know other distros than openSUSE (of course :-), Mandriva Debian and Ubuntu, and always think openSUSE is far more friendly!

It's a wiki. So you can add just like anyone else. That's the spirit of community. We don't administrate, we collaborate. :-) (More below)

HTH, Tony

Very well written and I can see you're going to be a great asset to the marketing team. You have excellent wordsmithing skills and we need more of that on our team. I'm looking forward to seeing you more active in our team in the very near future. Especially as we get ready for the 11.4 release in March. One important thing... before someone around here takes a swipe at you. :-) The correct spelling is "openSUSE" not "OpenSUSE" or "OpenSuSE." The SuSE brand changed long ago and we're now in our 6th year of openSUSE. As for SuSE, it is now known as SUSE and is a brand name for the company, not the name for the distro, which is known as SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE). So make sure you remember that and you'll always be in everyone's good favor. :-) Looking forward to meeting you in Los Angeles in a few weeks!
