Re: SuSE


You know, you'd think that ;-)

I had the opportunity, after hearing the booth people from SuSE correcting
people, to ask some of the original German SuSE people just how you were
supposed to pronounce it. I was very suprised, despite the z v/s s issue
between US and Germany, that they responded it is supposed to be "sooh'
sah" (rhyming syllables, "you" and "the") with the emphasis placed on the
sooh.
