SuSE Lovers is a site dedicated to the openSuSE distribution of Linux.

This site is just starting out, and it will hopefully be an ongoing project for quite some time. Since I am currently the sole maintainer of this site, and when time permits, I will be including screenshots, news, reviews, a user forum, and many other features that I plan on including for those of you who are interested.

Thanks for your patience as I do my best to make any progress that I am able to. When work is slow at my regular job, I will spend time updating this site when I can.

SuSE did away with the "dot" separators, and it no longer stands for anything. SuSE was recently acquired by Novell, however, there is ongoing development with openSuSE... a

A very brief history of SuSE can be found here.

Two familiar icons that you will see on a regular basis are:

The Linux icon "Tux"	The openSuSE icon, "Geeko"
