Yeah, for a moment I though about enterprise desktop, instead of only
servers... But then I opted for commenting only about the servers. I
havent seen lots of enterprise linux desktops out there. The few I've
seen were some dedicated engineering workstations, and in that case
well you do your job, uses the way IT installs it, or the vendor and
be done. Except for that, you are a geek/nerd adn you are using your
own desktop and more or less freely and you install whatever you want
(I see some companies doing that).

The point is Im not too worried about enterprise desktop. Novell
should care about. I believe most people will run opensuse (and they
should anyway), and in opensuse-land there will always be a solution,
like an add-on repository with KDE3 for example, or some kiwi live cd
or instructions to make a KDE3 media, people adapt to the situation.
In enterprise, in most of the cases you wouldnt be tweaking the
desktop, changing this or that... The system is there for work, not
for playing.

cheers
