1- What's "SuSE" pronunciation?
Most people pronounce it as "Soo-za" (which is how you would pronounce it if it was an actual word in German). Interestingly, if you were to call the U.S. San Francisco SuSE office, the recording on the phone incorrectly pronounces it as "Soo-zay".
2- What does "SuSE" mean?
"Gesellschaft fur Software- und Systementwicklung mbH", which is roughly translated as "Company for Software- and System-Development". The word "Systementwicklung" is actually a compound word, so the "entwicklung" became part of the abbreviation. "Gesellschaft" and "mbh" is usually abbreviated together for German companies as "Gmbh" at the end, so that makes "S.u.S.E Gmbh". In October 1998, the official name has been changed from "S.u.S.E." to "SuSE" (without the dots). It would seem that nowaways some people (including SuSE themselves) use an all-caps spelling of "SUSE".
3- Why is a chameleon as the logo of company? 4- How does that reptile relate to the word "SuSE"?
I have no idea. Although at the LinuxWorld Expo, the SuSE people referred to their mascot as a "gecko". I have collected two stuffed animal SuSE geckos, one bigger one from last year and a smaller one from this year.
5- Why "SuSE" induces a female person in my mind?
Maybe it sounds like "Suzie" to you? :) -Ti
