None of these sites actually says which desktop technology the Novell Desktop is based on, so it's all speculation.

I have 9 enterprise and it still has KDE as the default. In the future they will be, basically building there own desktop. This will be build from ximian-KDE-gnome best of features from what I understand. But at this point its all KDE. just the way I like it... Neal http://www.susemania.com

Make me wonder just what good in gnome i have not found anything as yet and i have kept looking but give up on it cus it's such a pain in the rear end with it's hoard of unsatisfied depnedances all the time , Example i would like to run Gspeaker to design some new speaker cabs for my self so i d/l gspeaker try to install it not a flaming hope in hell even on a freshly updated install of gnome and this is not a one off it is as regular as clockwork whereas KDE IF there is a problem it takes a few moments sorted running unless it is a very early package and then it has normally bieng superceeded .. All in all KDE just blows Gnome into the dust of history past .

Give me Gnome any day - IMHO KDE is bloated, slow, buggy and, to be honest, is no different from Gnome in terms of dependency hell, depending on the situation you are in when you install/upgrade it. But let's not get into that argument - KDE vs Gnome, Vi vs Emacs, Sendmail vs Postfix and so on. Aren't you just grateful you have a choice? Sometimes, I do use KDE, as recently, when I had problems with the new ulb-gnome 2.8 (now resolved). Sometimes I use WindowMaker - or XFCE, or Fluxbox (apologies to those left out). I just like playing around, though day to day, Gnome is by far my favourite. It's a much better choice, I think, than Windows 98, or 2000, or XP (with or without SP2). If Novell are prepared to add their support to both KDE and Gnome, then I'm all for it. When I first decided that Gnome was my preferred desktop, I considered moving away from SuSE to RedHat or Libranet, but eventually I decided that SuSE was better for my needs overall. I think it will be to their benefit to be more involved with other desktops, rather than mainly concentrating on KDE and I am sure that the two sides have much to contribute not only to each other, but to the open source community as a whole.
