Yes, too many are speaking of SLES, and forgetting about SLED, which
is the corporate DESKTOP replacement that Novell sells.  There are
probably more desktop versions than server versions in most larger
companies.

Gee, I wonder how the gnome users would feel if it was decided that it
would no longer be supported.  Oh, just use the older version, you
don't need the newer features or kernel support of the current.
Actually, since we don't want you as a user anyway, why not just move
to another distro.

Actually, it amazes me that no one even bothered to reply to any of
the comments I left suggesting that 11.1 be delayed so that it can
include a fully working KDE 4.2.  It seems that the prevailing opinion
is that kde 4.x is "good enough" and if you don't like it you can lump
it.
