I think that it will take more than just a name change - although it 
would definitely help - to keep SuSE's past glory going well into the 
future. The Novell management needs to pull its collective fingers out 
and stop fart-arsing around with the stable, professional distro that we 
all got to love. I have my serious doubts whether I will buy another 
copy of SuSE in the future.

In the latest TUX magazine there is a comparison of several Linux 
distros and SuSE does NOT come up on top. The top choice is Mandriva, 
and SuSE is beaten by other distros (Mepis comes in 2nd and Fedora as 3rd).

Cheers.
