SUSE Linux 10 was released by Novell in 2005 as part of the SUSE Linux distribution, and its startup sound was the short audio cue heard when the system finished booting. Like other operating systems of the era, SUSE used a distinctive chime to mark a successful start-up and give the desktop a recognisable identity. The clip later circulated on soundboards and video sites as computing fans preserved old system sounds, and it remains in use today mainly as a piece of retro tech nostalgia rather than as a mainstream meme.
