Title: SuSE linux
Post by: gothwer on 10 April 2002, 04:31

Can someone please tell me:

1) How do you pronounce "SuSE"? S-U-S-E? suse? susy?

2) Does SuSE mean anything? Or just a name? Why is the "u" underscore?

  :confused:

I don't really know if SuSE stands for something in particular, but I believe that it's pronounced like a single word (SUSE) since it's a German distro.

On Revolution OS, I believe that Linus, the guys at Red Hat, and the guys at SuSE pronounced it like: "Soo-Suh." I always thought is was "Soo-See" like the girl's name, but that is how they all pronounced it.

I think SuSE stands for "Software und System Entwicklung". I've always pronounced it "suzy", and only ever heard others pronounce it that way too. (Not that it's a word you hear all that often.)

since it is German if they pronounced it as a word it would be sew-suh like porsh uh.

also for anyone that cares, Entwicklung means development.
