How do we define a "professional user"?
ie, is a professional user a:
* Computing professional * IT person * Enterprise user * Advanced home user (and if so, how do we define "advanced"?)
I think a professional user is that all. But the Enterprise User can use SUSE Linux Enterprise. That´s not the "problem" of openSUSE. I think he means an advanced user. In my eyes, this is a user who can install software via the terminal, know how Linux works and maybe who can write code in C.

I personally don't like the term "professional" very much, because many things can be professional. In the strategy discussion we moved on, defining the target user as the "interested user who is willing to learn". Such a user is able (and willing) e.g. to use a forum. We don't have the ressources to spoonfeed too many and we don't want to limit the flexibility of the user by making it "aunt tilly"-friendly.
