Yes, I know it's mainly from open SuSE for those who are likely to start screaming OT :-) It does however show that there is a fan base big enough to warrant a derivative that wants purely KDE as the desktop. There has alos been a poll held by the UK Linux Format magazine asking on desktop preference. KDE came out big style on top. with, I think it was over 70% of the vote with Gnome getting just over 20%. I have to admit that I do like Gnome in Ubuntu 5.10 though..... what's happening to me??? Am I really becoming a Gnome fan....ooer. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Take care.

I am very disappointed; I have been waiting patiently since Friday, Nov 11, for someone to comment on or note the statement by Novell that KDE would be returned to, and fully supported on, ALL Novell Linux products, due to all the confusion over this matter. Doubtless there was also enough in the general commentary for them to conclude that KDE was also in at least equal demand in the workplace.
Start your search at Distrowatch, folx, in the "weekly news" section for Nov 14. There are lots of articles in lots of obscure places, such as EWeek, Linux-Watch, and even Novell's own blogsite. Doubtless everyone was too engaged in remembering our war dead to notice </sarcasm>

-- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 <sarcasm> Yes indeed. We shan't have users talking about things that might mess up corporate plans. At least not where others will read it. </sarcasm> Steven
