Hi,
I answered quite the same question in an other thread on this list some
days ago:
SuSE was based on Slackware (it has been a German version of Slakware,
we translated all the installation tools to German and fixed some bugs,
so it was more ore less just a German Slakware version) and we have to=20
thank Patrick for his great work. But at one point we decided to move=20
away from Slackware and that it's time to create our own distribution.=20
We also decided not to start from scratch, but to use Florian
LaRoche's Jurix distribution as a startpoint for developing the S.u.S.E.
distribution. Florian is now an employee of S.u.S.E. and continues
his work mainly on the base system of S.u.S.E. Linux. Release 4.2
was the first Jurix based S.u.S.E. Linux.=20
Ciao,
BB
PS: An archive of this list will be available soon, perhaps late this=20
week...
