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?"

    Almost spit my drink on the keyboard.

    Can any of you USians tell me why you don't use the word "spat" ?

    (And while you're at it, could you tell me why you say "petting the cat" instead of "patting the cat".)
