No, I'm not dropping this subject quite yet. On Wed, 9 Nov 2005, Ken Schneider wrote:
As stated above OpenSuSE will continue to have KDE as the default desktop. The others will still provide KDE it just will not be the default. You're basing all of this rant on one false article. Search the lists at lists.opensuse.org for the post by suse regarding the desktop issue.
I haven't seen anything claiming that OpenSuSE will have KDE as the _default_ desktop, but that's irrelevant as long as it is offered WITH the SuSE adjustments and configurations as we see them being developed today.
Why would you be using OpenSuse in place of what was the Pro version (the boxed set) when the SuSE 10.x will provide some of the missing commercial software packages?
My SuSE 10.0 boxed set has the OpenSuSE logo all over it. If SuSE continues to support KDE to an appropriate level we'll keep buying those boxed sets.
Panicking? No. Frustrated? Yes.
Sounds like more of panicking then frustrated.
We don't have a problem, but would much rather this nonsense hadn't started to appear.
Then blame the person that wrote the article for providing wrong information.
I'm still not 100% happy with what I've seen from Novell on this matter, even allowing for the usual inaccuracy of the press the quotes are far too specific and clear. But I'm at least getting hopeful that this matter will clear itself.
