(sigh) As I said to the last person to post a "Custom OS" thread like this... a "concept" is more than just a screenshot or two and a vague statement of what you want to do. You have to be specific. What are the goals of this distro? How are you going to set up the system? What distro are you basing it on (if any)? What software are you going to include? How are you going to customize the system to fit your target user base?

May as well ask why openSUSE is half capitals half not. It's probably just a stylistic choice.

Actually, if we date back to SuSE and use Wikipedia, The developer Gesellschaft für Software und System Entwicklung mbH (Lit. Company for Software and System Development) was founded on September 2, 1992 in Nuremberg, Germany, by twenty-somethings Roland Dyroff, Thomas Fehr, Burchard Steinbild and Hubert Mantel. Three of the founders were still studying mathematics at a university; Fehr had already graduated and begun work as a software engineer. The original idea was that the company would develop software and function as an advisory UNIX group. According to Mantel, the group decided to distribute Linux, offering support. The name "S.u.S.E" was originally a German acronym for "Software und System-Entwicklung", meaning "Software and systems development". However, the full name has never been used and the company has always been known as "S.u.S.E", shortened to "SuSE" in October 1998 and more recently "SUSE". The official logo and current mascot of the distribution is a veiled chameleon officially named "Geeko" (portmanteau of "Gecko" and "geek") following a competition. Its design has evolved over time.

Soulman, I wasn't saying that there wasn't a reason for the "SUSE". I was saying that why there are capitals or not in a name is kind of irrelevant most of the time.

Looks like you're trying to create a modified Longhorn interface shell on top of GNOME 3. Good luck.

You might want to look at Linux Mangaka's projects. I seem to recall parts of their interface being somewhat Longhorn-like, which you may find inspiration in.

An Inuyasha fan, I see. However, in my opinion, that screen layout (as well as the preceding ones) would look a little....I guess "awkward" would cut it. It'd be fine on netbooks, but on larger screens something about it would just look wrong.
