Well, something like that. Not openSUSE x.y. Ricardo Chung but YES to openSUSE 
x.y Torvalds, openSUSE x.y. Andreessen,  openSUSE x.y Zennstrom, openSUSE x.y 
Oikarinen, openSUSE x.y Van Rossum

Those people are alive and we only should use their last name as tribute not 
to make them feel any embarrassment
