<DIV> I actually brought this up with one their development directors at the last conference.
</DIV>
<DIV>I believe I used the phrase "just pick a horse and back it, already".
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He replied that the reason they don't do that is that you can't just move
</DIV>
<DIV>devs from one project to another, and that picking one horse means
</DIV>
<DIV>laying everyone else off. Apparently things have changed.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>FWIW, I am running SUSE 10 and find it to quite usable.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am also on the fence regarding the KDE/Gnome thing.
</DIV>
<DIV>My main issue right now is that I really like konqueror and krename.
</DIV>
<DIV>If, at the next meeting, someone can show me how to easilly set
</DIV>
<DIV>"open with" and do mass renaming in a Gnome environment, I would
</DIV>
<DIV>appreciate it.
