When it was a German enterprise, it was SuSE. Note the l.c. "u". I
believe the issue was that the "Su" was for one German word and the S
and E were for two more.
Novell appears to have simplified the situation for our Manichean
American simplistic souls and made it SUSE. OK, now I don't have to
remember which letter to drop (I never could and dropped the E half the
time).
While at a show, I found out from their reps that the correct
pronunciation is SU-sah. Yes, short A, not "ee".
It's nice to know something and be able to help Carl :-)
(Of course, now I'll get an avalanche of replies saying Carl was talking
about _open_ SUSE. Yes, he was. And you can see openSUSE.org for the
correct spelling of that. I have no idea how they pronounce it.)
