Is openSUSE ok with the usage of 'borderline' for a derivative? Why I ask this is because 'borderline' is a mental disturbance and somehow rare, in a way close to bi-polarity. This is a cool metaphore :) (borderline-project.eu will come soon).

While I don't get own branding, this will be 'based on openSUSE'.

You're thinking of the term 'borderline personality disorder'. Borderline because it was originally considered to be on the 'border' of psychosis due to the presence of some pathological traits. There's some debate about the term, but it remains unchanged in DSM-V (the updated psychology diagnosis manual). The word 'borderline' by itself doesn't really imply the condition. It means on the edge between two things /border/outline/fringes and can be used in many contexts. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/borderline The 'of questionable nature or quality' definition is probably more of a concern than the psychological reference. Just so long as people don't read the name and think of the Madonna song... :) cheers Helen -- IRC: helen_au helen.south@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
