I also just read this before you posted it.  I wonder what Novell will
do about the desktop.  SuSE uses KDE by default and most/all of their
tools are built for KDE.  Novell also just bought Ximian which has the
XD2 desktop based on Gnome.  I wonder if Novell will use KDE as their
default desktop or rip it out and use XD2.  The only thing with that is
that they will need to make all new admin applications.
