Well, read the article yourselves now and make your own minds up. See if you conclude the same as I did and think that KDE will be dropped at some point. Here are the relevant quotes from the article: [my response follows after]
LXF: SUSE has traditionally been a KDE-focused distro. How do you resolve including and supporting Gnome in SUSE Linux? GMU: SUSE has always included both KDE and Gnome, and will continue to support both, as will our enterprise products going forward. It's been challenging for us to work with partners in a way that's rational, but we've decided that in the next generation of our enterprise products, Gnome will be the default desktop. But we will continue to ship and support KDE, for a number of reasons. [my response] There is a world of difference between saying that Gnome will be 'default' and 'KDE is being dumped'. Marketing hype is always hard to discern... but this hype is nothing more than that. KDE is important and Novell knows that. Novell knows that KDE is important to me... and that's important to Novell. <I hope> -- Kind regards, Mark H. Harris <>< harrismh777@earthlink.net
