Hi Marcel,

and you are not allowed to do some marketing with it:
...this great product comes with SUSE LINUX...
because you are not allowed to use the term "SUSE LINUX" without 
permisssion from Novell.
The company I former worked for had to change the marketing, eliminating 
the term "Suse Linux" everywhere. After that they start thinking about 
another distro to bundle with, but no decision until now (as far as I 
know).
In the "good old days" SuSE was a great distro for the german market. 
Our product was dedicated only for the german market, so we choose 
SuSE. And after spreading qt and kde the desktop for the customers 
became usable (before, if I presented fvwm to the customers, I felt 
awful about it). But then Novell bought SuSE...
