New Distro Forum - Suse Linux

This is the best news ever.

I'm a total newbie and most of my questions are already answered here, but SuSE related problems remained unsolved.
At least now I'll have a place to ask the questions

Thank you Novell
Thank you Linuxquestions.org

gelassen uns Willkommen SuSE zu LQ site. wir sind sehr dankbar zu bekommen SuSE hier.

FINALLY!!!!!!!

Nothing can be a more great news?
Welcome SuSe

Its has always been my favourite distro.

Hi all

SuSE is indeed an amazing distro and i'm very glad to see it here.

One comment though...

I apologize for being picky, but shouldn;t the forum be titled "Novell SuSE" as SuSE is being called since the purchae by Novell? (You'll see a lot of this on SuSE 9,2)

Just a thought, but not a biggie....

I agree - Novell Suse - but is it really bad? I think Linux world need some comercialization, maybe than we will see no-bugs products. And we will alway have a chance to go to some other distro, say, Debian or Gentoo.

For good or for bad,Linux is fairly heavily commercialized already. Nonetheless, i think it is positive for the distribution as far as a wider acceptance goes. People and moreso corporations are very weary of anything "free".

That said, we still need the free distro's. I came across a nice one recently, CentrosOS. Basically RHEL AS3 without the copyrights and recomplied completely GPL.

my day has been made.............finally after all this time, the wait for my favorite distro to be an official part of LQ is over.

Thank you LQ and Novell/SuSE!

Novell -- your business strategies continue to suprize me. Your position on open source is very admirable. SuSE is one of the best distros IMHO.

I think it will be interesting to see what the merging of SuSE and Netware will produce.


It is nice to have a place to chat all things SuSE.

Congratulations, Jeremy.

I know you worked long and hard onthis one to make it happen.

Just to clear up, why it's named SuSE. This is a joke about Konrad Zuse
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuse
who is the inventor of the computer as we know it today (well, the basis for that)

That's not my understanding. According to the Wiki article SuSE originally was an "acronym for the German phrase "Software- und System-Entwicklung" ("Software and system development") Either way, Suse is a pretty nice distro IMO -- J.W.

And how do you think somebody comes up with such a word-monster =)
P.S. I am German, so I know how made-up the title sounds. Software and system development is a good description, but nobody in his right mind would use it as a title, if there wasn'T some second meaning to it.

P.S. It's my favourite distro (along with Mandrake)

Great to see a forum section here dedicated to SuSE. SuSE rocks!

Welcome to LQ, SuSe!!
And By the way I pronounce it like Dr. Suess.
