The "top features" on the page are gnome, firefox and OOo. No KDE to see
there. Hmm, is this the end of commercial backing for KDE ?

I couldn't find gnome mentioned anywhere in that page, even using a search. (Unless you count a reference to "Evolution" as being Gnome, but that's stretching it). Plus, considering Novell's previous comments (sorry, no URL, just going from my imperfect memory) that they'd support both desktops makes such a fear sound unjustified.

Hello,

I downloaded and installed it, both gnome and KDE are available. During
Installation you are asked to choose, but you can include both by using
detailed package selection. Then you can choose whether you want a gnome
or KDE session every time you log in.

Cheers

Peter
