(4) Where does the name 'SuSE' come from, and why is it capitalized weird like that? A quick google and ref to my old 6.3 docs tells us this:
Just so you know, SuSE is pronounced "Soose"--it rhymes with moose. Previously represented as the acronym S.u.S.E., the company name was simplified to just SuSE to avoid growing confusion (and who likes acronyms, anyhow ;). Said acronym turns out to stand for "Gesellschaft für Software und Systementwicklung mbH", which is roughly translated as "Company for Software- and System-Development." As far as 5 is concerned?
