It’s become clear to many that Red Hat’s recent missteps with CentOS and the availability of RHEL source code indicate that it’s fallen from its respected place as “the open organization.” SUSE seems to be poised to benefit from Red Hat’s errors. We connect the dots.

    There’s always been the risk of confusion and openSUSE project seemed to have understood that SUSE could disallow the name at any moment. A name change does make sense for both. Especially now that even Leap might be distancing itself from SLE and whatnot.

      Agreed, but GeekOS or whatever it was they had on that oSC slide … Cheesus, they can do better than that.

      Yeah, I get the mascot’s name is Geeko, so maybe that is where they’re getting GeekOS. But I think I read that the mascot has to go together with the name anyway.

        On recent performance, no they can’t. I mean, they had the chance to use Driftwood and went with Slowroll.

      Then make SUSE become ClosedSUSE. It couldn’t be easier.
