It's quite nice. Just apt-get kde if it's your thing. I used Ubuntu after
several years with Red Hat and SUSE. If you want proper liberty, gNewSense
might be your thing as well. SUSE Linux, much like ReiserFS, will only hold
until the next hard-drive upgrade/installation.
Look at them getting all defensive...

Microsoft Backs Novell's Linux Platform
Here's a slightly misinformed item.

Windows Vista to support Linux
A reasonable perspective.
http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/02/microsoft-supports-linux-via-novell-satan-phones-gates-regarding/
Microsoft supports Linux via Novell; Satan phones Gates regarding temperature
Linux has proven it is winning, but Novell could sink in the process as it
absorbs Microsoft's last final blows of desperation. It's like IBM (or
Novell) in the SCO case...
Y'all know how SCO ended up.
Best wishes,
