I'm just absolutely certain of one thing: it's stupid to have political aspects (as it happened the previous time this question was raised, at least IMHO) being the reason to decide for one or the other. It must be considered from an honest point of view for the good of the end-users installing openSUSE. The option giving them the least headaches should be the #1 on the list, as it's most likely to be picked by those who have no idea what KDE/GNOME/XFCE/... is and just want to "try Linux".
How about [ ] KDE 3 [ ] GNOME [ ] KDE 4
From my perspective, As I spend a great deal of time teaching people to install and use software, I Would move to a menu or "screen" like the one done early on in which the choices were laid out left to right.
[ ] GNOME [ ] KDE 3 [ ] KDE 4 description description description People seem to be less likely to choose the first one if the choices are all on the same line. In the layout that I provide above. KDE4 is just as likely to get chosen as Gnome. The reason for that being that 4 is higher than 3. This layout invokes a sense of equality and choice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
