Oh boy. Here we go again.... for the .... What 1900th time? They were toying
with the idea of making SUSE ENTERPRISE Use Gome as a DEFAULT.... Meaning you
would select KDE at start up and it would be right back to the way it was
years ago.... Good God how does changing the default Desktop make it Gnome
only? KDE is there and selectable, and you're talking about Professional,
which was never enterprise.
Oh and those rumors aren't recent. That was like a year ago and Novell made a
public statement that they have decided not to switch over to Gnome even
though it would take ONE mouse click to change it back to KDE because
apparently stupidity spreads faster than an STD.

Maybe because Debian didn't come out for about a year AFTER Slackware? I love
how people twist history. Slackware was there before Debian, And SUSE has
been there longest of all, SUSE actually started by selling Slackware.
Can you PLEASE keep these borderline psychotic ramblings off the list? This
subject was talked to death and the SUSE team even came on to say nothing of
the sort was happening.
This is why I don't own a company, I have no patience for this kind of crap.
Novell isn't going anywhere, nether is SUSE, use it or don't, but don't spout
off CRAP that isn't true.
PS: Debian needs around 2 security updates a day. Have fun keeping up.
