Hi, I think it's not relevant whether the GUI is considered part of the OS (just like the C compiler) or not, but the question is whether it's a sine-qua-non part of the OS (i.e. the OS would not work any more if that part is missing). Users should still be able to take advantage of most OS features even when they use a text-mode interface. It would be desirable to be able to mount/unmount (pre-selected) media as non-root user.

Ok, just to clarify the new terminology: Novell/SUSE is going to market at least two different operating systems then: NSGL (Gnome/Linux) and NSKL (KDE/Linux)? With the common feature of "automount"? With some common components like the kernel? And some server linux with bash as GUI? Is there somewhere a document describing the way how the tail Novell/SUSE intends to wag the dog Linux?
I don't think that it's really the case here to get semantic and split this hair.
Do you read the list through a sniper scope?
Should every owner of a @suse.de address bring a mine detector when using this list?
For some, the GUI is the OS, the rest know that it is not so, but it's not something to spend too many messages on, it's not productive.
