Don't know where this comes from and whether this is complete. But it speaks about enterprise products.

...

versions of Novell enterprise applications, the default desktop environment will be GNOME. When customers install Novell Linux products, they will be given the option to choose either the GNOME or KDE environment during the installation process. If the user makes no explicit choice, GNOME will be installed.

So is that all - the final result of the big debate on both this list and opensuse? SUSE will have GNOME as the default environment. That's all. I hope

For SUSE Linux versions, there will be no changes, no default will be set.

the specialized SUSE KDE package will still continue to ship. And the Novell OOo KDE package also?

We do continue to invest in both GNOME and KDE and therefore the items you mentioned are supported, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

I received it this morning as part of an official Novell newsletter. It mentioned desktop SuSe so I felt that it was relevant to the recent 'debate' we have had on here :-)

Man it's about time. I got tired of trying to explain how default can have more than one meaning. This exact message should be put in the FAQs, and sent to this list once a month. Everyone saying they are leaving because Gnome is default... I mean wow I understand their pain of having to click on KDE during install.... And man am I old today. It's my 23rd Birthday today... nyway back on topic: The people who downloaded and din't pay for crap saying they were going to stop usng it, I TRIED to tell you, it's enterprise stuff only, not the home user stuff. -Allen
