"Contrary to earlier reports, the Waltham, Mass.-based Novell has changed its plans and will not release a "best of breed" Linux desktop that combines the best features from the GNOME and KDE environments, said Ted Haeger, the Linux Desktop's director of marketing. Instead, users will be offered an option for either KDE or GNOME during the installation process". well, I had just upgraded to SUSE 10.0, using KDE. This got me to wonder about Gnome, so I logged in using gnome desktop. just for grins I tried to run evolution, but it said evolution was not installed. AND

After running smart upgrade ( running YaST and installing evolution failed, evolution still bombed) it upgraded evolution, and by changing the system tray icon preference to run the command evolution, it WORKED. I still like kmail better ( I'm used to it) BUT, I did notice that the apps started faster, I would have to think that KDE is much more of a resource hog than gnome, just on a cursory look.. BUT I am still more comfortable running KDE. I guess KDE is more Windoze like, slow and bloated :) -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800
