OMG, this rocks. I should really think about switching to SuSE... their KDE 3.5.x desktop looks a hundred times more professional than Kubuntu's too.

Sad openSuSE only ships KDE 3.5.7... and sad they've become GNOME centric too.

BTW, the wallpapers thing:
I filled a bug about this yesterday. Because there is a package called kdewallpapers-kde4 which is a dependency of kdeartwork-kde4. This package installs some ugly nonsense KDE <= 3 wallpapers instead of the KDE 4 ones. This can't be!
I guess kdebase-workspace-wallpapers is some relic from the alpha and beta packages. Kubuntu revised their package names often enough.
It just can't be, this is supposed to be STABLE?!

OpenSUSE is not Gnome centric. Opensuse has the biggest KDE team amongst all the distro's. If anything they are more KDE centric than Gnome.

In addition, online surveys show that a whopping 72% of users use KDE. Becoming "GNOME-centric" in the face of this would be insane.

Online surveys are not even remotely reliable, and different surveys show conflicting results. Don't quote them in public.

47% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

See I've read somewhere that 42.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot. :p

You can't trust these online statistics.

actually it's not a survey, the figures come from those accessing the opensuse repositories, which have 72% of people accessing them using KDE, and the remainder using Gnome.

I forgot to ad, that opensuse ship with the stable KDE version at the time of release, but you will find the KDE updates hit the opensuse repositories quicker than any other distro.

apt-get is nice, Yast is improving constantly

you can easily add suse buildservice repositories, and have latest versions of almost everything, including kde.

as for opensuse being gnome centric, well, while it has somewhat departed from kde-centric roots, i don't feel that they are leaving out kde or something.
