    Actually, no, ULB GNOME is a community provided effort, independent of SuSE/Novell

  2. LIke It, With Quibbles by reallocate · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I installed it last night on SuSE 9.1 Pro. Appears to be very well done.

    Quibbles: It doesn't include hal and dbus; OpenOffice won't launch ("...libvcl645li.so: undefined symbol: XineramaIsActive"); install instructions seem out of synch and in need of updating.
