"SUSE" has been around for a long time, as a name (even if it was "S.u.S.E." and "SuSE" in the past).
I did not say that SUSE should be renamed. I just suggested to seperate the community based SUSE Linux from the Novell business products. Being a user of both, I would suggest the following:
- Community Edition: SUSE Linux 10.2 - Novell products: Novell Linux Enterprise Server, Novell Linux Desktop
Like that SUSE stands for the community and Novell for business products.
You might be new to SUSE Linux, but the distribution has a very strong history, especially in Germany, and renaming the distribution to something else is totally *not* a good idea.
No, I am definitely not new. I am using it for more than six years now. And Switzerland is not that far from Germany :).

I think it does create some confussion to have a pay for version and a free version in terms of marketing. However, for corporate use, we will always buy so we can get the support and our lawyers / finance guys don't pay much attention to the name. My two cents is that it is advantegous to have the name SUSE in both the open (free) and pay-for versions. When I am experimenting with a new SUSE version, I go for openSUSE and once happy I recommend it for upgrade. At that point I go to the pay-for SUSE and it goes into QA for final testing. If I have to explain that I experimented with SUSE but I am installing XXXX, it will complicate matters a bit more for the non-technical. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
