Re: GNOME on NLD/SLES

Neither is GNOME the only desktop on Novell Linux Desktop 9, nor is it the default. And judging from the bug reports and hearsay there are customers using KDE on NLD. It will be interesting what Novell will tell them.
And a general note, if a company reduces its investment into "Linux on the Desktop" or applications it's sad independent from what desktop your prefer. It's a sign that the Linux desktop(s) are still waiting for the breakthrough.
