Hi, Does anyone know what the word SuSE means? It would be a german word, and that is all I would know. Both dictionary.com and reference.com return no meaning to me. It is quite a riddle. Even if it is a name, in India all the names have a meaning. Rohit means red. Does SuSE mean something? Anyone?

Its also, with a little mispronunciation, "susse", which is German for sweet. -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E

Actually not. The word I think you are talking about is 'süß' or 'süss', which can in some situations get an 'e' at the end. (Notice the 2 dots above the u.) This makes quite a large mispronunciation, because those 2 dots might be small and hard to notice on paper (or monitor), but they change the sound very noticably. On a sidenote: Once in a US movie, a gang of skinheads who were supposed to be German sang "Deutschland uber alles". I laughed through the rest of the movie. Moving further sideways: I was just reminded of the Finnish hacker in Swordfish, Axel Torvalds (the name and nationality seems somehow familiar :-) who supposedly only spoke Finnish, but somehow managed to discuss with his legal counsel in fluent German.
