I did not say that SUSE should be renamed. I just suggested to seperate the
community based SUSE Linux from the Novell business products. Being a user of
both, I would suggest the following:
- Community Edition: SUSE Linux 10.2
- Novell products: Novell Linux Enterprise Server, Novell Linux Desktop
Like that SUSE stands for the community and Novell for business products.

No, I am definitely not new. I am using it for more than six years now. And
Switzerland is not that far from Germany :).

I think it does create some confussion to have a pay for version and a
free version in terms of marketing. However, for corporate use, we
will always buy so we can get the support and our lawyers / finance
guys don't pay much attention to the name. My two cents is that it is
advantegous to have the name SUSE in both the open (free) and pay-for
versions. When I am experimenting with a new SUSE version, I go for
openSUSE and once happy I recommend it for upgrade. At that point I
go to the pay-for SUSE and it goes into QA for final testing. If I
have to explain that I experimented with SUSE but I am installing
XXXX, it will complicate matters a bit more for the non-technical.
