Keep KDE3, don't use the new features, don't upgrade to newer OSS Versions.
That will depend on what happens with KDE4.
If you agree to have one part kept in an old, unsupported state, why should you care for the rest?
This is why people are sticking with XP instead of moving to Vista. 512MB vs 2GB to do the same things and XP is still 20% on average.
It can't be better hardware support from a newer kernel, when in the same time you talk about running it on older hardware.
Do WHAT? I'm sorry, AFAIK, almost every PC or MAC since 1995 has included a thing called PCI and it's variations(PCIe, PCI-X, AGP, PCMCIA, etc). So, I don't want to make sure that the brand new WirelessN PCMCIA Card will work? It's like the ath5k driver. It works, but it is nowhere near as good as the ath_pci driver. AND, it doesn't support my AR2413 based card, but it gets loaded and the system claims it will work. So, I just install the ath_pci and it works fine. Having a "free" driver is a laudable goal, but don't act like it's better than the old one until it is actually better. Not that I really care, but the ath5k driver, which will work on my AR5xxx card, doesn't even make the lights blink while the ath_pci driver does.
So what?
Glad you got the $$ to upgrade everything. Some of us are barely getting by. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
