While I can understand that KDE3 is not developed further, I'm unhappy<br>
to read that the support for the Qt3/KDE3 ports is dropped; I don't<br>
expect bugs fixed in Qt3/KDE3 anymore, but at least the ports should be<br>
able to compile and maybe adopted to changes in ports they depend on.<br>
<br>
KDE4 is in no way an alternative for smaller netbooks (like EeePC),<br>
maybe not even for real workstations.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>KDE4, using the plasma-netbook shell, works beautifully on a 10.1" Asus eeePC 1005HA (Atom CPU, Intel graphics, 1 GB RAM). It's replaced my 15" laptop completely at work, and almost replaced my desktop at home due to the portability.<br>
<br>It even runs acceptably well on an original Asus eeePC 701 with only 256 (or 512?) MB of RAM and a Celeron CPU, although an upgrade to X or the Intel graphics driver caused it to start flickering when opening, closing, or moving windows. Last time I tried it was with KDE 4.2 or 4.3. Shortly thereafter I got the 1005 above.<br>
