New users might now be interested in SUSE Linux because it is part of Novell. But I can tell you for sure that a lot of people like and use SUSE Linux because it is still produced by the highly skilled technical staff that has been doing S.u.S.E. Linux and SuSE Linux in the past, with the same focus on quality and polish.
If you now call it "Novell Linux" or something else, totally different... well... anything different from "SUSE" actually, it will mean a lot more than just a change of name to many people. Some might see this as "the last bit of S.u.S.E./SuSE going away" (whether this is true or not) and might turn to other distributions.
Hi, The SUSE (S.u.S.E./SuSE) name is too much present for lots of people, indeed. The name should be kept, IMHO, but maybe adding something "New". OK, let's start dreaming a bit, that makes life better :-) "Nova" is the Latin name for "New". It also is in Portuguese, for instance. So what about a "SUSE Nova", which would keep: 1. The SUSE name 2. The idea of something new (like a Susenova, ooops a Supernova...) 3. Nova "reminds" also Novell OK, just that thought as thoughts brings new ones :-) Cheers, PatrickM
