Re: OT: And what is this supposed to mean?

When Novell bought Suse and the MP3 support was dropped (what simply means the distribution was crippled) I was about to switch to another distro. I've tried Gentoo (my notebook disk was too small and the CPU too slow) as well as Knoppix and Debian. Only because our company has been using Suse for years, I wanted to avoid double effort and eventually stayed. OpenSuse 10 was a positive surprise. But now, that the Suse people leave Novell, I'll no longer bet on 10.1 or whatever comes.
IMHO the statement that Gnome is more user friendly and thus is better suited for business distros is complete nonsense. Suse managed to tweak the KDE in their distro quite well in the past. It wouldn't be that huge effort to spend a new profile to Konqueror to let it show less buttons in the toolbars. You can provide a different set of rc-files for other applications (say KMail) as well. You can use Kiosk...
Anyway, bye bye Novell (and to be honest, I expect my co-workers to drop Suse as well).
