Um, AFAIK, the original correct capitalization scheme for this most excellent distro of Linux was:
SuSE
from the German: <etwas> für System- und Software-entwicklung.
Which actually gives me a question: does one write in German "Software-entwicklung" or "Software-Entwicklung"? 'Cause if it is the former, then it should be:
SuSe
Now after the Novell takeover, I've started seeing
SUSE
since perhaps not many people are aware of the original German words that were abbreviated by SuSE (or SuSe).
What's the official capitalization of the open project? OpenSuSE? openSuSe? openSuSE? openSUSE? (I think I saw the last on the site.)
[BTW anybody know why Red Hat is called Red Hat? Or Fedora is called Fedora? [Apart from fedora being a hat too?] And while on this topic, ever heard of Yellow Hat Linux? See: http://stallman.org/articles/yellow-hat.html.]

I believe the correct spelling is SUSE. As for Red Hat, there are two stories that I'm aware of: 1- Red Hats are worn my most revolutionaries 2- The guy that started Red Hat (can't remember his name) used to always wear a Red Cap, and when anyone had any computer related issue they were advised to go and see the guy in the Red Hat. Never heard of Yellow Hat Linux sorry. Andy
