That doesn't change the fact that KDE 3.5 is dead and won't be maintained upstreams. No distributor I know of has the respources to maintain a complete KDE version all on their own.
Debian will, at least until Lenny and Etch are BOTH out of security support. Plus, after we actually get a KDE 4 release targeted toward normal users, I'd have no problem with it being the default. It is the way forward, with a cleaner, broader, more powerful base for better integrated applications and a more flexible user experience. I have great hopes for it and SOON. It's just not ready to be the default yet. It's not like KDE 3 was dropped by upstream as soon as KDE 4.0 was released. The KDE 3.5.10 release was AFTER the KDE 4.1 release, and I haven't heard that there definitely won't be a 3.5.11. It may well still be maintained upstream for a while. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
