Is It Deja Deja Novell All Over Again, Again? - Ximian/GNOME v SUSE/KDE at Novell
Recent articles published on Internet magazines, Web sites, and forums raise questions about what Novell is doing with, and to, SUSE Linux and to KDE. Is Novell emasculating KDE and SUSE? Is Novell/SUSE dropping support of KDE? Are the Ximian/GNOME forces within Novell pushing out the SUSE/KDE forces, and so forth? Is Novell planning to dump its SUSE Linux products? MozillaQuest Magazine's (MozillaQuest.Com) Mike Angelo, the writer who got SCO's Chris Sontag to admit there was no SCO-owned UNIX code in the Linux kernel, conducts a penetrating, objective, and fact-based analysis of these Novell, SUSE, and KDE issues. He finds that Novell now is GNOME-centric and that Novell has made a mistake in doing that. The article also presents Novell's side of the story and Novell's answers to the questions about what Novell is doing with, and to, SUSE Linux and to KDE. Additionally, MozillaQuests' Mike Angelo, Novell's Bruce Lowry, and Novell's Kevan Barney discuss issues such as "is Jack Messman still running the show at Novell?" and "is Jack Messman following the plan and promises he made in February 2004 about Novell's entry into the Linux and Open Source communities?" This article is a must read for anyone interested in desktop Linux,. KDE, or SUSE. Check MozillaQuest.com for the full story and links! |
