" Do you think a lot of this is due to a new name?"
There is probably something to that; although it's probably not the main factor. I would imagine that this is a well known method used my marketing and sales alike. I would imagine that it's the same force motivating names like:
Windows 95, NT, 2000, XP, 98, Me, 2003, etc... instead of Windows 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, etc...
Apple OSX Panther, Cheetah, Jaguar, Tiger instead of OpenStep 4.3, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0
Tru tru... but I can't recall the last time that I received a piece of snail mail about "Wet Teens", "Want a Hard c0ck?!?!", or "The Amazing BLUE PILL!". -m

I am relatively new to the Linux game, so perhaps I am just ignorant -- so please forgive me if that is the case. However, it seemed to me as an outsider that true geeks used Linux, while mortals used Windows and Mac. However, having joined the fray it seems that within the Linux community is highly fragmented. Now it seems that the true geeks use Debian and Gentoo, while the mortals use Mandrake and Redhat. Weird. -m
Wake me up when they've created twin mice from one mother and many different fathers. The fathers must be smart... perhaps super-stars at navigating mazes, and the twins must be quite different. Perhaps one can be extremely strong, brilliant, and Austrian, while the other should be the genetic waste of the first making him short, bald, and Italian. ONLY THEN will you have my attention. -m
Please please please open Fair Play to use. Please please please. We'll be your best friend. Promise. Plllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaassssee! Come on, be a pal! Please please please.
You had bits? We had to work with a system of pipes pushing water through tubes to generate basic units of computation called sips and gulps. You whipper-snappers had it made! -m

Perhaps this is developed firstly as an internal system (my company uses a similar system for code sharing/internal chat) and only now released to the public.

" Since Novell bought SuSe they are now a Linux distributor and bound by the terms of the GPL."
That never stopped SCO.

Wouldn't it be funny if when it's found that Novell indeed unquestionably owns the rights to the code, they turn around and pull a SCO on us?
