Novell, RedHat and Sun Commit to a Linux Desktop

Posted by timothy on from the fuse-has-been-lit dept.

DeckerEgo writes "InfoWorld reports on the Linux desktop and how Novell, Sun and RedHat (wha?) are working on making 2004 the year corporations start adopting open desktops. But which desktop? Most interesting to note is how Novell is planning to beef up the number of Ximian, Gnome, Mozilla and OpenOffice developers after its SuSE aquisition is complete. Does this mean that SuSE will stop being one of the best KDE distros out there and follow the way of the Gnome?"

    Two guys are in a pub drinking beer. One looks over his shoulder, spots a pool table and says to his buddy, "Do you want to play some pool?" His buddy replies, "Hell yeah, let's play, I'll rack and you break". He goes over to the pool table to begin racking. He looks around the table for a few moments and then shouts over to the bartender, "Hey man, where are the balls?" "It's French," the bartender replies, "it doesn't have any"
