Now, if someone would kindly tell me why the Chameleon is named "geeko."
I suppose it is a pun on the name of the gecko which is a Chameleon-like animal found at least in California.
Wrong :) We had a public naming contest four or five years ago and geeko was the name that won.
Ahh, okay, thank you. I am glad to hear that was the reason. Since I started with SuSE a few years ago and noticiting that SUSE 10 continues with the chameleon, I often wondered why a chameleon would be named like a gecko. Of course, IMO, geckos are far more pleasing to the eye than chameleons. :P -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

I am sorry I am not very clear what you are talking about. gecko? chameleons? but where? the desktop backgroud? where can I find the name of the animal? (it seems that you all said SUSE call it gecko instead of chameleons), I am a new user, so can anyone tell some SuSE stories to me? like "gecko or chameleons"? Thank you! Regards lof

Sorry, just having a bit of fun. Traditionally, people who were interested in computers were known as "Geeks". ;-)
