I think a newsgroup would be good for name recognition of SuSE. It would sit right
next to the Red Hat and Debian groups in linux.suse.*. If nothing else, SuSE may get
more defections from RH and others. I switch to SuSE when I saw it at Borders and was
having lots of trouble with Red Hat. But most people have never even heard of SuSE.
