Why do you feel that they are screwing thier customers? If you read the article you will note that the GNOME predominance is for SLES and NLD, *not* openSUSE. Seeing that SUSE Linux (used to be SuSE professional) is based on OpenSUSE and therefore it too will still have a strong KDE backing as it used to have. If you had a look at NLD 9, then you might have noticed that it already has a GNOME desktop, and not KDE. So, don't get your knickers in a knot, you will still be able to use KDE on SUSE 10.x and OpenSUSE. PS: I also doubt if having KDE as the default desktop will influence SUSE popularity, as KDE will still be an option an all you have to do is what we GNOME users have been doing and that is select KDE in stead of GNOME as your desktop. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
