[Kde-women] Upgrading from KDE 3.4 to 3.54 in Suse 9.3 (Suse go kaBOOM)

[Eva Brucherseifer]

Hi Genny,

have you tried Kubuntu? It comes along with current KDE and also it uses 
Debian update mechanism. I was told that this works better.

I have to admit, that even though I am using and administrating my suse box 
since 1998, having administrated Solaris for 5 years and having been a suse 
beta tester for some versions, I also was alienated by recent changes in 
Suse's update mechanims. So far I didn't have the time (and motivation) to 
learn their new stuff and your report doesn't motivate either (I also have 
suse 9.3). 

Maybe it is time to switch to Kubuntu. A lot of my friends are very happy with 
it. And due to better colaboration with the core Ubuntu team Kubuntu is 
growing fast. 

Cheers,
eva
