This landmark release will be supported for 5 years (previous versions were only supported for 18 months) and is being touted as ready for enterprise use." From the article: "Dapper Drake will be supported for three years for the desktop version and five years for servers, compared to 18 months for the current 5.10 'Breezy Badger' version. The code release will come after the development process was extended by six weeks in order to improve the reliability of the software."

Re:Damn fine, pity about Kubuntu

Ubuntu may have put more effort into modifying GNOME, but most KDE users will tell you that the KDE developers put more work into make KDE more polished and usable than GNOME.

In other news, most GNOME users will tell you that GNOME developers put more work into making GNOME more polished and usable than KDE.

Not to troll, but after using KDE for so long, going back and trying to use GNOME (e.g. via a LiveCD while demonstrating for a friend) is crippling.

And after using GNOME for 4 years, trying to spend a week configuring KDE to function in a sane manner is really not worth the effort.

Or, maybe it's just that the desktops are different and if you really like one you are most likely not going to enjoy using the other for a short period of time?
