Well, it might be updated relative to what was there before but it
does not reflect the development stage at all, for example:
suse actuall
gtk-1.1.2 gtk-1.1.13 (or later)
imlib-1.8.1 imlib-1.9-2 (or later)
gnome(libs/apps)-0.30 gnome(libs/apps)-0.99.x (or later)
(approaching 1.0 fast)
Enlightenment (not available) Enlightenment-0.15.x (or later)
Eterm (not available) Eterm-0.8.8
The gnome 0.30 libs/apps do not compare to what is available now in
the 0.99.x development series, there is massive improvement in
everything.
If you want to try it out on suse you will have to compile yourself
from the tarballs or available SRPMS (for newbies: do not use the also
available RPMS on suse 5.0 (and probably also not on suse 6.0))
Compiling Enlightenment/Eterm and necessary libs for suse 5/6 is less daunting
and the recent development stage is very stable.
For definite RPMS of gnome I would wait for 1.0 before asking.
I do hope SuSE is following the gnome development and makes available
the gnome rpms as soon as possible. Then users have two 'modern'
wm/desktops available to choose from: kde and gnome.
I hope that suse makes available rpms of a recent version
of Enlightenment/Eterm and necessary libs sooner for users who want
to get away from 'Windows' like appearance/functionality of both kde and
gnome.
