Well, do you know SUSE Linux Personal or SUSE Linux Professional? I think so.
I´ve got an concept that maybe can stop them. I use this for my own distribution I´ve built with SUSE Studio.
This concept looks like this:
openSUSE: This system is for the beginners and for "home-users".
openSUSE Professional: This system is for advanced users who can work with a system that´s maybe must be administrate over the terminal.
But I think today openSUSE is a distribution for both user groups.
Given the number of new users we see in the forums, I would tend to agree that it is used by both user groups. However, even that kind of definition doesn't work well, because I myself use openSUSE at home. ;-) My point being, "beginners" and "home users" are not equivalent. One can be a "home user" and be an "advanced user", and I suspect that many of the readership of this list are in that category. This is why I think it's important to define the audience, even if it isn't part of the mission statement (ie, the words explaining the definition aren't in that statement).
