That will NOT happen this time, because: - Novell has announced to not make Netware suitable anymore for the 64 bit processors, but only as a virtual machine on SUSE. - Thereby SUSE becomes the core of the Novell business.

You might say that this time Novell is dropping Netware. They are certainly not dropping SUSE. SUSE has become the successor of Netware. One of the more recent issues has been the choice of desktops. While neither KDE nor GNOME is going away, Novell also owns Ximian. Executives at Novell have stated that KDE will remain the default desktop for SuSE xx (eg. SuSE 10.0, etc), but GNOME will become the default desktop for SuSE Enterprise Linux. Both are very good desktops, and certainly Window Maker, ICEWM, and other window managers will remain. Personally, I would like to see both GNOME and KDE continue to be improved as well as the X Window system. -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
