As will I. The plan would be something like this. Back up all data to disc/DVD. Wipe all hard discs. Install and config new fork/branch. Subscribed to new distro mailing lists. Unsubscribe from all Novell/SuSE mailing lists. Never utter the word Novell again if humanly possible.
KDE will not be dropped, please stop these useless threads, it is WRONG!
It is NOW wrong. But that seems to have changed.
It's now wrong because people freaked right the hell out and they had to surcome to the pressure from their userbase. Why would we have chosen SUSE in the first place if not for how they do things. To make them another RH is to destroy the reason so many of us have stuck with SUSE over the years.
Exactly. If they backed off (temporarily) in their headlong switch to gnome, it is only because the roar. But the fact that they tried says they will try again to make suse into THEIR distro. They have always been a server company and I suspect in the end, that's the only part of the business that they want. Its vastly easier than putting out a desk top OS that 70% of the users download for free. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
