We are still using SL 5.10 on a number of workstations. The users are used to using KDE with a lot of desktops - 12 or more. We switched a number of boxes to SL 6.8 and we get a lot of grumbles about desktop. We run VMWare and load applications that require Windows there. We have everything from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 10 on system.
Thank you All for an excellent OS. Got a number of responses but there were a lot of missing parts we could not locate. Anybody really done it? If we could only have KDE for SL 6.
