 Permalink for comment 376893 KDE4 and Novell... like oil and
water by darknexus on Tue 4th Aug 2009 16:23 UTC Member since:
Given NOvell's Ximian investment, plus their 100% backing of
Mono, I don't see them moving to KDE anytime soon. There would
be too much involved really to move to it, as a good deal of
Novell's other technologies would have to have more bindings and
the like for KDE and would have to go through an extensive
testing period. It would be more trouble for NOvell than it
would be worth, considering that OpenSUSE is to SLED as Fedora
is to RHEL. Sled is not going to move to KDE, so neither will
OpenSUSE. Too, given they have several developers employed to
work on accessibility features such as those for Mono and other
GNOME technologies, it wouldn't make sense from that perspective
either... and if they ever hope to have U.S government
contracts, they need to keep their system accessible (or at
least accessible enough). KDE would be a non-starter when you
add that into the equation on top of
