Yes, I agree, but we will look at SuSE Linux if and only if they
will switch from KDE to GNOME... and if I've well understood, they will.

Far away, what's the new SuSE strategy? Will they focus more on GNOME
and include KDE just as an alternative (like RH)?

What does "Novell/SuSE will continue to distribute KDE and Gnome." mean?
Which of the two platforms will be the standard/default one?
