I'm running KDE4 on 3 boxes with kde3 kicker, but for a few differnces mostly in stuff like konsole only ever coming up with 1 tab, hardly any problems noticed between them and the other kde3 boxes. Noting it's still an ongiong development, there are bound to be some issues yet to be sorted.
Honestly, I'm not very happy with the whole look of the default KDE4. It's too different from KDE3. And, I didn't see that it was any faster, which is supposedly what the KDE team has been claiming. On another note, I just installed SuSE v7.3 with the KDE 2.x and SuSE v8.1 with the KDE v3 desktop on an old Thinkpad, and I will say that KDE4 is a huge departure from either v2 or v3.
OS/2 - nice. Ahead of Gnome RedHat used CDE in preference to KDE and I couldn't believe it, a completely trashy Sun desktop I've always hated. Early Gnome based on CDE was also horrid. Tried Sun Java Desktop (AKA Gnome) on Solaris 10 on an UltraSPARC 5 which was treacle slow and I had to switch to KDE to make it responsive.
Yeah, I really liked the Workplace Shell. If they hadn't screwed up the marketing, I would probably still be using it now. I have a copy of v4.0 somewhere that I've been meaning to install. As for Red Hat, My first experience with Linux was Red Hat 5(in a teach yourself Linux book) and it almost was my last. Fortunately, I found a copy of SuSE v5,3 and I've been using it ever since. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
