Novell Not Pushing Ximian Onto SuSE

Posted by simoniker on from the natural-progression dept.

dhunley writes "According to TechCentral, a recent story on Novell's plans following the acquisition of both SuSE and Ximian comments that 'SuSE will continue (to operate) as a business unit of its own', according to John Phillips, Novell's corporate technology strategist for the Asia Pacific region. 'We don't expect to make Ximian the default user interface, and for the medium term KDE will remain the default GUI on SuSE Linux'."

    Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.

    This is not the actual quote from Ben Franklin, of course, and it's not true. There are plently of cases where we happily give up a small amount of freedom for a substantial amount of security; not doing so would be foolish. Also foolish would be giving up a lot of freedom for a small amount of security, which is actually what Franklin said.
