Parent article: Red Hat nullifies KDE, Gnome (Register)

This article is pure tripe.

"In the latest beta of RedHat Linux, the distro has replaced the KDE and Gnome branding with its own in-house look and feel."

Eh? The latest beta I downloaded contains GNOME2.

"Red Hat has no intention of forcing cooperation on the two projects (or ability to do so),"

Ok, RedHat doesn't have to. There is already cooperation, including an interoperability project. The portrayal of GNOME and KDE as two warring factions is so tired and silly it is beyond comment.

"Red Hat has done us all a huge favor by concentrating minds on the needless and divisive battle between the two camps."

Yawn. If this is the authors day job he should start looking for a night life.

And if GNOME sucks *SO BAD* why are there more applications? Boy, that seems strange.

And KDE mature? Have you used it in a multi-user/LTSP environment? Go over the LTSP list archives and read about that.

KDE in a multi-user environment

As a matter of fact, yes, I am doing that.

It's working pretty passable, actually.

We're running multiple Xvnc's, with KDE2 behind them, and except for occasional kdeinit runaways which suck up processor time, it seems to have been working fairly well.
