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'."

    I seem to remember that suse was making a deal with ximian anyway - suse had been criticied for focusing only on KDE and having a crappy implementation of gnome.

    Suse will probably keep kde as the preferred desktop, but will offer a ximian gnome alternative as well.
