The real un-answered question (to me at least) is how bought-over by Novell will effect Suse 9.3 release or subsequent releases. We know Novell has other Linux offering (Novell Linux Desktop). Novell also bought Ximian. It is unclear as to what is Novell's linux strategy for future releases. I haven't seen an announcement from Novell out-lining a future linux releases roadmap describing how will SuSE evolve and how it will related to NLD (and maybe some of the Ximian offerings that are also now owned by Novell).
I just purchased my first Linux distro back in October, SUSE 9.2 Pro, and I've been very happy with it. I'm not that familiar with all the Linux terms & apps, so I'm a bit confused as to why Novell would buy SUSE when it now seems to be putting out its own flavor , NLD. What exactly is all the Ximian apps, it seems Novell bought them also? if Novell stops SUSE at 9.2 and starts pushing NLD ( Novell Linux Desktop) will everyone convert? When I look at NLD, It says "Powered by SUSE@Linux". so, is NLD just a GUI over SUSE, in place of KDE??? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800
