A SUSE Pro *ONLY* user since SUSE 5.0, I see the sad demise of SUSE since Novell has taken over. Recent rumors suggest that Gnome oriented Ximian group will set the new directions for SUSE, allegedly away from KDE, which will help only in driving even more users away.
Oh boy. Here we go again.... for the .... What 1900th time? They were toying with the idea of making SUSE ENTERPRISE Use Gome as a DEFAULT.... Meaning you would select KDE at start up and it would be right back to the way it was years ago.... Good God how does changing the default Desktop make it Gnome only? KDE is there and selectable, and you're talking about Professional, which was never enterprise. Oh and those rumors aren't recent. That was like a year ago and Novell made a public statement that they have decided not to switch over to Gnome even though it would take ONE mouse click to change it back to KDE because apparently stupidity spreads faster than an STD.
Against this background, having lost hope in the major business players, Red Hat and Novel, Debian will be the one and only choice left. If you have considered Fedora and OpenSUSE, then why not consider the original open distribution, Debian?
Maybe because Debian didn't come out for about a year AFTER Slackware? I love how people twist history. Slackware was there before Debian, And SUSE has been there longest of all, SUSE actually started by selling Slackware. Can you PLEASE keep these borderline psychotic ramblings off the list? This subject was talked to death and the SUSE team even came on to say nothing of the sort was happening. This is why I don't own a company, I have no patience for this kind of crap. Novell isn't going anywhere, nether is SUSE, use it or don't, but don't spout off CRAP that isn't true. PS: Debian needs around 2 security updates a day. Have fun keeping up.
