"Camaleón" is just a nickname -a Spanish word meaning "chameleon" in
English- I chose when I installed my first linux system, SuSE Linux 8.2,
7 years ago (openSUSE mascot is a gecko). I was so used to it (to the
nickname) that I kept.
Thanks for the explanation, Chamaleón. I have wondered. But given that my
granddaughter's friends include someone called Sunshine and someone else
called Piper, and I can think of people called Chelsea and Brooklyn, I didn't
like to comment/query! I like that explanation. I have a green plush Gecko
sitting here in front of me. Guess which distro I started on???

I used to use SuSE also, and for a long time I thought that mascot was
some kind
of dinosaur, chosen for ferocity! I suppose a gecko is not very ferocious--
tenacious, maybe. (Think GEICO!)
