SuSE Linux WITH the KDE is the best thing to come out of Germany since the printing press.
Which is why I chose SuSE as my Linux distro, and I just could NOT understand how the German government allowed the sale of a German company to a foreign company.
Daimler Benz and Chrysler Corporation of America ring a bell?
I'll make a fearless prediction here which I have been meaning to pen for some days now and that is that Novell will go belly-up within 18 months and it will be either acquired by M$ or Sun - and in either case SuSE as we now know, and love, will disappear.
If Hubert starts another company and continues with SuSE under another name (someone mention QLinux?) then that is what I will switch to.
I'll definitely give it a look. I was impressed by what SuSE had accomplished before being bought out, and I'm sure the same guiding spirit can top what I came to like. Mike
