Let me give you a short explanation on the naming and the openSUSE project:
- openSUSE is the development project to open up the development process used to create SUSE Linux to the community. - The distribtuion that we all are working on is called SUSE Linux. - SUSE Linux is available in two "flavors": * SUSE Linux OSS - a version of SUSE Linux that only contains open source software. This version is available for download on all the mirrors our there. * SUSE Linux - that's the retail version: It can be regard as a superset of SUSE Linux OSS, which also contains some proprietary bits, binary-only drivers and stuff like that. Not to mention end-user documentation, installation support and MP3 playback support. - Note: The packages that are in SUSE Linux OSS and SUSE Linux are binary-identical.
Very good :-)
this very text should be on a wiki page (if not already :-), probably right here
No [edit] for that page, so somebody else needs to do it. I think it should also be included in the FAQ on question one: What is the openSUSE project?
recurrent discussion proves that the FAQ is not enough
Indeed and as my wrong answers indicated, there needs to be more clearity. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
