Installing CentOS tomorrow. I've got almost 1,500 members and participating organizations in KDE's PIM Kaddressbook for our Non-Profit. Can't do without it. I understand that it isn't in KDE4 as of yet. No support for KDE3 so I gotta dance with who brung me. My own two cents is that it might have been better if KDE3 been left in by default and introduce KDE4 into testing. That approach could've kept people, like myself, putting up with all the other blowups. Fedora, You all have just gone past the point of audience participation for me. This is a damn sad day, but it's been one heckuva ride.
