Thought it might be worth mentioning it.
Limiting openSUSE to GNOME or KDE is just wrong. Interesting idea though.
Hmm, would it be possible to have a base openSUSE system, and have GNOME/KDE as addons? It wouldn't be *that* much of a difference compared to the LiveCD's?
Well, technically spoken, yes. I don't think many users would like this approach, installing from a single DVD is just too comfortable.
On the other hand, we might consider providing up-to-date desktop environments as add-on products during the life cycle of the distro (basically make an add-on from factory repo after new KDE/GNOME/whatever gets released and stabilized).

That's good idea in many ways: - base distro would have to sync with smaller number of upstream projects - the addon desktop CDs can be tested out of sync with main release - current problems with last minute inclusion or time spent on backports are out for good - users that depend on physical media will get opportunity to have the newest desktop without much work to download oBS repository Is there any adverse effects? -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
