I am sure that KDE4 is great for some people. I prefer the arrangement and scheme of the 3.5x panel. KDE describes the choice as follows: "KDE 4.1 (recommended for early-adopting users)" "KDE 3.5 is the more mature version of KDE. For more conservative users, this is the recommended version of KDE." I guess that I am in the latter group. Similar conversations are going on in just about every distro community; More so, when there is an underlying corporate sponsor. The general consensus SEEMS to be that distributions are compelling the switch earlier than might be desirable. At some point 3.5 will be deprecated, We're not there yet. Of course, that's JMO. The greater issue might be how the Fedora team is arriving at these decisions and whether or not there is an effort to create consensus. -- "Neither Lifestyle nor Agenda" http://www.tips-Q.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
