The sles/sled stuff may default to GNOME but it never ever has been the only choice....

On a personal note: I dislike the looks of gnome, ubuntu et al. Does that mean the product is bad?

from the detailed roadmap.

Please let it be so, I deeply want to see opensuse 11.0 ship with KDE 4.1!

I hope this is a bug and some horrible design decision. Because quite frankly that looked really quite ugly and unfinished.

OpenSuse and suse in general was ALWAYS supposed to be a KDE focused distro and NOT Gnome. When Novell bought SUSE tried to make Gnome the default and they were booed so much they said "Sorry we were on crack when we said that" and they made it optional. Although SLES will have as the default the Gnome desktop if you don't choose otherwise.

I want to try it but I really don't want to waste 4GB now (unless it was the end of the month).

I agree it would be nice in principle, particularly given Novell/openSUSE involvement with KDE4 development.

However, it's an artificial milestone and people shouldn't be too disappointed if it doesn't happen.

openSUSE does a phenomenal job with their supplemental KDE releases, and they integrate well enough into the platform with the openSUSE customizations that you'd think they were part of the default install.

Plus, openSUSE has parallel package builds going on right now, with 4.0.1 + the most useful patches from trunk, as well as 4.1 snapshots. Even if 4.1 doesn't make it, 4.0.x will still be much more than a vanilla 4.0.x desktop.

There was even some mention at the last opensuse-kde meeting that if 4.1 has to be packaged and released after the release of 11.0, that it may still be officially supported by the project. They could even do a re-spin with an 11.0/4.1 single-disc install.

At any rate, who knows what will happen until we get closer to the date... Regardless, I don't think KDE users will feel shortchanged when 11.0 ships. ;) Sat, 09 Feb 2008 23:11:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (elsewhere) Comments RE: Not bad http://www.osnews.com/thread?300264 http://www.osnews.com/thread?300264 Cool, I just saw there are 2 different ISOs: GNOME and KDE. I picked the GNOME one this time and then I will download the KDE one.

Now that would be stupendous news.
