I read the FAQ. Why did you have to name it after a woman? I just hope that years down the road my computer doesn't start sounding like a wife!!!...:-) Steve - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

This was the first question I posed to the SuSE guys at LinuxWorld. I essentially got 3 answers: - Soo-zee - Soo-Suh - and something that sounds like the children's author "Soose" According to the folks at the conference, both from German and American origin, it really doesn't matter, and what you call it is dependent on where you are from. One gentleman, upon hearing that I was from California, suggested I call it "Soo-Suh". I believe I heard more Germans pronouncing it "Suu-zee" (like the feminine name), but I believe that is slang, and not really the "correct" German pronunciation. Are we all clear on this now?

Do we need to be? I just was repeating what I think I read in the faq. I mean if we're asking questions, I could ask 'who cares?' and let that be the next in line. I'm not sure who or what you think needs to be 'clear'. No apoplexy here. All that really matters is that people 'know what you mean'.

If you pronouns SuSE in the German way it'll be like Suzy except for the y sound that will be replace by a the h sound that people pronounce when they imitate an Italian who is speaking English. That is more or less like it. ^^^^^^

Is it? I didn't know it. It is interesting to know how we "sound" when we speak other language. Maurizio P.S.
