Thanks, but we consider 3.0.0/1/2 non-fuctional, based on experience, and posts to the lists.
Question is, will 3.0.3 and 3.1 be so, too? (Given problems that we have now: only one font, printing doesn't work, gpg doesn't work, konq has problems, etc) I'm guessing 3.0.3 will be better and 3.1 will be worse, functionally.
Any other opinions?
Well, all I can say is I don't have any of these problems here. This is the route I followed installing SuSE Linux 8: - Installed from DVD - hand-picked apps to be installed. I always do that because I don't want/need a lot of the default stuff (for example for printing i want CUPS, lprng is default for SuSE). - installed and configured apt. (Since I first used apt I never bothered with YOU anymore). - Got all the updates with apt: apt-get update, apt-get -f install, apt-get upgrade and then ran SuSEconfig. -configured the boxes the way i wanted. Presto! A fully functional SuSE Linux 8 with KDE 3.0.2. Done that on 8 completely different desktop machines, including a Thinkpad 600E, without any problems. (Did the same on quite a few servers too but that's without KDE). The problems you describe don't really seem related to KDE: gpg, only one font (?). Konq had a few problems but most of them are ironed out now and if it doesn't do what you want, why not install Mozilla or Opera or even good (bad) old Netscape? One thing I always did have problems with was getting NVidia drivers to work properly, but that's not really a SuSE related problem (I got rid of the NVidia card and bought one from Matrox for my PC at home). Consider trying to install it this way and see if you still experience the same problems and if so, please provide us with a few more details. regards, Marcel
