Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y This is a desktop comparison of Red Hat Linux 9 and SuSE 8.2 Professional Edition. We have used Red Hat Linux 8 for all our work since last fall, and installed version 9 as soon as it became available. However, we have not been fully content with Red Hat, so we gave SuSE 8.2 a try when it became available this month.

KDE vs Gnome ... not going to go away

"I almost threw the monitor from my desk when I saw section 2. KDE vs. Gnome. I just knew that it would turn into another KDE vs. Gnome debate. Thus the whole article's focus of RedHat vs. SuSE is moot."

Unfortunately that can not be avoided. Red Hat is clearly moving into direction where KDE is not part of its future anymore while SuSE has put its integration efforts to KDE, leaving Gnome aside. Both will soon ship their distributions with one properly configured windowing system only. People using these distributions will be affected by these decisions, and they should get all the information they possible can have about the consequences.
