[sles-beta] KDE Desktop not available?

Thu May 8 05:16:47 MDT 2014

Grand Day,

        RHEL v7 is now at GMC status, I would image as many others on this list we are also running with the RHEL v7 Beta. KDE has been well tested and any of my issues on both x86_64 and zLinux fixed. If you want a grand desktop to check SUSE SLE 12 then that is a good one to try.

Hello James,

I just bounced you an E-Mail (dating 2014-02-27) written by Jan Weber, my product management colleague responsible for desktop; he is currently traveling and thus does not have regular E-Mail access.

This was true in the past, indeed. However, just test the SLES 12 Beta5 "incarnation" of Gnome3.  To me personally (also coming from KDE) it looks clean and directly usable.

This topic is also covered in Jan's E-Mail.

So long -
        MgE

P.S.: If anybody else missed Jan's E-Mail, I can bounce or even resend it to this list again.
