I am sorry, I did not intent to start gnome/kde war here again.
My question was not about _religious war_, but 'Can I see any article or
whitepaper from Novell, explaining their decision? (new update system, gnome
instead of kde)'.
I had a very mixtured impression from SLES10 (comparing with SLES9, which
provided a very good impression from the very beginning, except predictable
bugs in release, SLES10 looks very controversial, even if don't count on
mystical CDROM problems
during installation. If I was new in Linuxes, and install SLES10, I could be
very disappointed).
