Fedora over SuSE because of misinformation.
Do you know what shelf space is? I grew up in retailing with my first job in a discount store when I was 15.
But there are 2 different distros here, SLES and SuSE Linux. SuSE Linux, like Fedora, is intended for the desktop where SLES is intended as an enterprise server.
That is not my understanding of the comments made by the Novell exec quoted in the article recently posted here. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1679393,00.asp (Oct 18) "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".
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1882118,00.asp (Nov. 5th)
"Enterprise desktops, however, have been moving toward GNOME".
"Greg Mancusi-Ungaro, Novell Inc.'s director of marketing for Linux and open
source, said, "Novell has a Linux desktop leadership position with NLD
[Novell Linux Desktop] and SuSE 10, and we intend to keep the pedal down
hard."
The bottom line is that at least for the desktop systems (like SuSE 10) we
should be able to get both KDE and GNOME.
