The open source community has a lot to do with the development of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and it's a testament to their hard work, ingenuity and creativity that Linux continues to evolve and thrive. Novell contributes and participates in several open source projects including openSUSE, Gnome, Mono, and other developer groups. By working with the community and with our customers and partners, we are continuing to improve and enhance SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop as a desktop solution that is relevant and flexible for business use.
