With Novell buying SuSe (with a good KDE backing) and also Ximian (with a good GNOME backing), it seems that the natural thing to do is to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eweek.com\/article2\/0,1759,1553087,00.asp\">combine the best of both worlds<\/a> (from my understanding, this is like the BlueCurve theme of sorts?).
