  Tutorial: SuSE Users' Panic Unfounded

SuSE Users' Panic Unfounded

Tutorial Details:

A Linux Today story, which asked the rhetorical question "Why has Novell management decided to discontinue their entire SuSE Linux branded desktop and workstation product line?" seems to have been the source of these stories.

"The SuSE Linux teams are largely untouched," Mancusi-Ungaro added. "Novell is focusing more on areas that are strategic, and the desktop is definitely one of them."

Novell, as had been expected for weeks, announced Wednesday that it was going to cut about 10 percent of its staff worldwide, approximately 600 positions.

Novell is making one large strategic change. The GNOME interface is going to become the default interface on both the SLES (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server) and Novell Linux Desktop line.

KDE libraries will be supplied on both, but the bulk of Novell's interface moving forward will be on GNOME.

"The entire KDE graphical interface and product family will continue to be supported and delivered on OpenSuSE," said Mancusi-Ungaro.

Enterprise desktops, however, have been moving toward GNOME. The Red Hat Desktop, for instance, is based on GNOME.

In the past, those who have tried to pick one over the other have been subjected to pressure from the other.

For example, in 2003, open-source leader Bruce Perens' attempt to make GNOME the default desktop for the Debian-based UserLinux was fought by KDE supporters.

A source within Novell speculated that these rumors about Novell moving away from the Linux desktop and open-source programs spring from KDE advocates.
