SuSE Linux 8.1 was released September 30, 2002.
It brought with it several new features. The venerable GNOME 2 debuted in this release. GNOME 2.0 saw a new look and feel for GNOME, and simplified several features. Some components such as the Terminal saw a complete re-write, and Metacity became the window manager. GNOME would not have a major new release series for almost another decade, until the controversial redesign of GNOME 3.0. Today's MATE desktop environment is a continuation...

SuSE Linux 8.0 came into this world on April 22, 2002.
Not long after the major write of KDE for version 2.0 came KDE 3.0. This release changed the toolkit underneath from Qt 2 to Qt 3, but bore relatively few highly visible changes. The highly customized and green KDE theme from SuSE Linux 7.3 remains almost perfectly unchanged in SuSE Linux 8.0. I also ran an early version of the Mozilla browser, which seems to bear a much more modern looking interface than Netscape Communicator,...

Two days before Windows XP hit sales, SuSE Linux 7.3 was released on October 23, 2001.
The default KDE setup for this and the next SuSE Linux release were probably the greenest interfaces that the distribution has ever seen. There appears to be significant attention and improvement in the default user interface in the overall color scheme and icon theme. GNOME saw neither an upgrade nor significant changes in this release. By this release, the default boot screen had more sophisticated...

SuSE Linux 7.2 was released June 15, 2001, a few months after the debut of Mac OS X 10.0.
KDE 1 was dropped by default in this release, although by this point KDE 2 was stable enough for day to day use. GNOME was upgraded to version 1.4, which notably includes a switch to the Nautilus file manager, which remains part of GNOME today under the name Files. It is apparent however that even by this point, GNOME favors simplicity over eye candy and customization options when compared to KDE....
NEWS 200119 about exGENT (Gentoo) 64 bit
I’ve made a new version of exGENT with only a few necessary packages pre-installed. It uses LXQt 0.14.1 as Desktop environment and kernel 5.3.7-aufs-exgent. The ISO file is of 1720 MB. Despite this exGENT version 200119 runs surprisingly fast from DVD or USB. Even in VirtualBox and VMware. Faster than most other Linux live systems. I call my new version exGENT 2020 LXQt Live DVD/USB.
