I was there too... and I distinctly remember how rocky that changeover was. The final result... as in KDE3 as is it now is not something you can compare... look at the very first SuSE release with KDE3... look at how bad KDE3 was then.. how unstable.. how broken. I remember trying over and over to transition from KDE2 to KDE3 and failing because so much was broken in the beginning. As it matured though, KDE3 became a great desktop... one of the best around, if not the best. KDE4 will get there too.
Hmmm, well, I didn't actually use every release version that was put out, so I may have missed that. Also, I have always used the KDE that comes with SuSE and never tried to use a current tree from the KDE devs. But, when I boot SuSE 8.1, KDE2 looks and acts a lot like my KDE3 on 11.0. There are some changes of course. You dont get the xterm with the kernel messages anymore, and the eye-candy-meter is gone(unfortunately.....wish they would bring it back). But, it still pretty much works the same. I can put my son in front of it and then 11.0 and he has no problems. With KDE4, he likes the bling, but gets annoyed when some things don't work like they do in KDE3...... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
