OT [Cialug] Time for Suse funeral?

[Josh More]

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

My experience with Novell, is that they have always made great products
-for Geeks. (I switched to Linux before Netware 5, so I can't comment on
that one)

That said, my main gripe with Novell is that they have never been really
focused.  They're all over the place.

I was glad to see the move to Linux and granted it was a bold move, but
it made sense. However, they did go linux and went about ten differant
directions at once. I'm glad to see them have a little tighter focus. 

One could say Novell went a bunch of differant directions with Linux, so
that they could see what was to become a viable component of their
business. (I do this alot) However, I think they worked hard and had a
little luck on their side. I really doubt that it was planned.

That said, I'm a little disappointed to see some of the focus move off
of Evolution, but there a billion things that could be done to improve
Gnome, and that is good thing. (Even though I prefer KDE).
