SUSE Linux Becomes openSUSE

A user writes "With the anouncement of the release of SUSE Linux 10.2 Alpha 2 there is also an anouncement that SUSE Linux will be renamend to openSUSE. A very logical step to clear things up. The name went from S.u.S.E over SuSE to SUSE Linux and for many people it was not clear what the name realy was. It also points out the importance Novell gives the the openness of the whole openSUSE project."

That clears everything up.

I now feel better about my decision to consider possibly maybe eventually switching to openSuSE.

What's worse: everyone knew what "Novell" was, and didn't want it.

Yeah, capitalization is important. It's the difference between "I helped Uncle Jack off his horse" and "I helped uncle jack off his horse".

Shouldn't that be...

GNU/openSUSE?

Open, SUSAME

Is this name supposed to be a reference to Ali Baba and the forty theives?
