SuSE, openSUSE "OpenSUSE has been driving innovation on the Linux desktop, and in today's serial we'll be discovering just what has been happening on the GNOME front. Among other things, openSUSE 10.3 is set to contain, and be among the very first to have, the new GNOME 2.20. We'll see what new things you can expect from this version, what additional polish openSUSE brings to the desktop, and finally we'll be talking to JP Rosevear, an openSUSE and GNOME developer, to find out a little more."

Maybe that is because Nat, Miguel, and Federico are ximian monkeys. You know that those 3 are the *founding fathers* of gnome, right?

And it's certainly sad that Novell allowed that little startup to erode the $210M they paid for Suse. Which I'm going to go out on limb and assume was much more than they paid for Ximian, due to the fact that Suse had actual revenue and marketshare.

Fortunately, saner heads prevailed, the primates have since been kept in check, and KDE remains a strong focus from Novell... ;)
