Okay, but what does S.u.S.E. means, literally?
It is German: "Gesellschaft für Software- und Systementwicklung mbH" which stands for "Company for Software- and System-Development" In there FAQ is says: "What does SuSE stand for? "Gesellschaft für Software- und Systementwicklung mbH", which can be roughly translated as "Company for Software- and System-Development" On October 21st, 1998, the official name has been changed from "S.u.S.E." to "SuSE" (without the dots), mainly because people were often misspelling the old name and it was a very uncomfortable to type. However, you may still use the old name, even though it is expected to vanish." But that /still doesn't make sense to me, the German name would be like this: GSuSm and the English should look like this: CfSaSd or CSSD I guess the got SuSE from "Gesellschaft für Software- und Systementwicklung mbH" in some differant way than what I ussually think out. Maybe it is a German way of doing it where I just can't firgure it out. How they "extracted" SuSE from there Full German name. Jack
It should be pronounced like "Soose". The "U" sounds like the "oo" in "moose", the last "e" is spoken like the "a" in "at". But in general
it is
not very important to pronounce it correctly, as long as it is clear what you are talking about. "
