SUSE was founded on September 2, 1992 in Germany, under the name Gesellschaft für Software- und Systementwicklung mbH (S.u.S.E. GmbH), meaning: "Software and System Development, Inc.". The first GNU/Linux distribution (S.u.S.E. Linux 1.0) was released in 1994 - making SUSE one of the oldest existing GNU/Linux distributions.
Just as an additional piece of information, at least 3 distributions preceded SuSE:
1. Soft-Landing Systems (SLS, the first ever Linux distribution) 2. Yggdrasil 3. Slackware
(1) and (2) are memories now, (3) I believe is still around.
