So, the world's been awash with talk of Novell "switching to GNOME", so let's clear some stuff up:

It's just on Novell Linux Desktop (NLD) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). Now, NLD is Novell's enterprise desktop product, I'm pretty sure it's always used GNOME, because it has its roots in the period between Novell buying Ximian and them buying SUSE.

In all honesty, if it weren't for the fact that this story covers SLES (and anyone who runs X on SLES should be taken out and shot as a kindness to themselves and the servers in question) it simply wouldn't be news.
