I thought this quote from that same article was particularly 
interesting, particularly item #3, in light of the fact that others 
have questioned whether or not there was anything from Novell on the 
subject of Gnome vs KDE issue.

"Novell's Response"

"The Novell people deny that Novell is dumping either SUSE Linux or the 
KDE desktop suite."

"Bruce Lowry told MozillaQuest Magazine in our phone conversation 
Thursday that:"

   " (1) there is no systematic plan to get rid of SUSE people,"

    "(2) Novell/SUSE will continue to support both the GNOME and KDE 
desktop suites, and"

    "(3) GNOME will be the default desktop on the Novell and SUSE Linux 
distributions, but that Novell and SUSE Linux distribution users will 
be able to select the KDE desktop if they so chose."
