I personally would drop the numbers and go with dates. e.g. `SUSE 2005 Spring` instead of SUSE 10.1.
Or use lizard types/sorts instead. I assume there are enough lizard types out there, to give out to suse distro's for the coming 10 years....
The confusion with names instead of dates or periods is that people have no idea what is a newer version, unless they look it up. As an example I will use flower names¹, because I am unaware of any lizard names. Can you imagine the amount of questions that will ask: What should I download, the Rose, the Tulip or the Butterfly? And then the answer is: The Lilly. Don't download the Lotus, because that one is Alpha. ¹http://www.earthlypursuits.com/FlwrsPer/FlowerYear/FloraMeaningA-F.htm So there could be an explanation, but it still would not stop the questions. ;-) houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
