We will likely rename "it" for 10.2 anyway.
Marcus is correct. At corporate marketing discussions are ongoing to rename SUSE Linux with 10.2. The project name stays as is and the distribution will be renamed. Afaik openSUSE is on the short-list.
The confusion with openSUSE.org, the project and SUSE Linux, the distribution is obvious outside and even inside Novell. Nobody catches intuitively what is what. And we have an issue with the difference between Novell business products and the community edition. This is confusing for business customers.
anyway, it's obvious for me than the word "SUSE" must be the main part of the name. This name could be simply "SUSE", but openSUSE is nice as the word "open" have a good feeling. many years ago, Linux was little known, today any computer user at least know a little about it, and as long as Linux is discussed, SUSE is well known as a german Solid product (In France, at least, German products are very well appreciated for strengh and luxury - think at BMW or Mercedes). -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
