<pre wrap="">Well, the issues I ran into were discussed here. There wasn't a way to
fix them with the current state of KDE 4, not that we could find
anyway. I'm not saying that KDE 4 is bad because it is not, it's just
that some of the "features" I need are not working yet. As soon as
those things get sorted out so that I can do my everyday things, I'll
most likely be on KDE 4.
I will also say, as I have said before, there is a lot that I like about
KDE 4. I'm not sure how well my old puter is going to like it but it
looks OK to me. May have to get a newer video card for this ole thing.

Maybe not, if you set KDE4 to lose all the eye candy. I have booted some
Live Linux CDs with KDE4 on my 4+ year old Celeron laptop (stuck with
the old Intel 8xx series video hardware) and the video hardware handles
it fine if the eye candy is either turned off or very conservatively set.
LXDE runs very well on the old hardware. So does Fluxbox.

Yea but I would leave all the eye candy turned on most likely. I sort
of like the eye candy stuff, as long as it works. Heck, I like a lot
of the stuff about KDE 4, I just need to wait until for the geeks that
program it to get some more stuff working. After all, KDE 4 is really
a little baby right now. It's crawling right now. I expect it to
start walking soon, then start running a little after that. In several
months KDE 4 will be all grown up and ready for track try outs. <br>
<br>
I didn't expect any less of KDE 3 when it came out. It took them a
good while to get KDE 3 working good. They did tho. If I need to
upgrade my video card, I can handle that. I'll just get the fastest
AGP video card I can get at a reasonable price and put that little
puppy in. I plan to build a new rig soon. It most likely will have a
quad core AMD CPU and a few GBs of ram. That should make KDE 4 really
happy. :-) <br>
<br>
Of course, for people that have older rigs than I do, they may have to
stick with KDE 3 somehow or move to something else for a GUI. Heck, I
have had Fluxbox and Gnome on here before. I just don't like them much
but they are faster, especially Fluxbox. <br>
