As will I. The plan would be something like this. Back up all data to disc/DVD. Wipe all hard discs. Install and config new fork/branch. Subscribed to new distro mailing lists. Unsubscribe from all Novell/SuSE mailing lists. Never utter the word Novell again if humanly possible.
KDE will not be dropped, please stop these useless threads, it is WRONG!
It is NOW wrong. But that seems to have changed.
It's now wrong because people freaked right the hell out and they had to surcome to the pressure from their userbase. Why would we have chosen SUSE in the first place if not for how they do things. To make them another RH is to destroy the reason so many of us have stuck with SUSE over the years. The threat of leaving isn't about KDE in a large sense it's about engineering decisions.. and this is a bad one. The fear is that they will continue down this path and at the end what was.. will not be anymore.
But even if KDE were dropped, don't you think this is just a wee bit of an exaggerated reaction?
I'd be out'a here.
I'd would as well. If they want to become RH then why wouldn't I use RH on my servers and Kubuntu on my workstations. SUSE will be nothing special if they carve out everything that made them worth using.. ie. the dev staff and the software they developed against. -Ben -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
