I really think that they should move off the december release. too many things happening in December.
That will not happen. It takes a really major problem to postpone an announced release. If 11.1 is not good enough for you, simply wait some months, or skip it entirely.
I was more talking about the next time. If the next release, 11.2, is moved to an 8 month, then the following would be in Feb instead. I realize that the devs probably would like to have some time off over the holidays, but they still have to make the 6 month cycle after. Honestly, I can't say I agree that the 11.1/SLE 11.0 cycle should have only been 6 months(although SLE did have 11.0 as a base). It would have made more sense to me to have such an important upgrade to have a longer cycle. Further, it amazes me that the devs feel that KDE4 will be ready for SLE and I'm going to be interested to see the uptake and or skipping and or removal of SLE over this. I'm sure Novell has an idea of how this will work out, but I know a lot of businesses and they don't want the switch to Vista, not just because of the hardware, but because of the differences. They moan everytime that Office is "upgraded" due to issues and retraining.
By SLE are you talking about SLES or SLED or both. SLES could come out with no desktop at all many people would not complain. Personally, I run my servers CLI only (init 3) and ssh into them and launch the few gui apps I need (things like YAST) back onto my local screen. I doubt the local GUI has much if any impact on that. SLED may be another matter.
