I guess if SUSE mangles support for KDE that I'll just find something else to use as a desktop OS on my Dell.. maybe Kubuntu or something. I certainly won't be using Gnome.

You have described every experience I have ever had with GNOME. The KDE OTOH, is rock solid. Sure, some things go bonkers from time to time, but I'm usually running the bleeding edge bits, or even my own builds. I hope Novell execs aren't stup^h^h^h^h thinking they can get a better deal by cutting TrollTech out of the picture. The best remember, that knife cuts both ways.

According to a recent news release that I read on the net, here, Novell will cut KDE out and use Gnome only, and I, too, will be gone.
(Yes, I'm in XP now--having trouble with the network "card"--part of MOBO.)
You have not read everything on this issue. On the OSS list it was stated by a SuSE employee that KDE will still be intact just not the default. Just as gnome is now intact but not the default. You can still override the install to default to KDE. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
