KDE has been absolutely phenomenal now for at least 18 months, with only the kde-4.0 and 4.1 strains having been somewhat er... difficult. I cannot imagine why you would install the alpha or even beta test release candidates when you are having such a bad time of it. I do use them, with glee, and experience negligible discomfort, as, only occasionally, there might be a minor, but easily overlooked, glitch somewhere, but never to the point that I am unable to perform what I need to do. I have 4GB of memory and a 1.86GHz Intel dual core processor. I also have a laptop with 2Gb of memory and a single core Intel roughly 1.73GHz processor. The laptop definitely lags noticeably (slow to boot, compositing effects are slow), but it is eminently usable nonetheless. I think you are experiencing problems due to very dated and inadequate hardware. Not even my old Windows XP ran well, back in 2000, on 512Mb of memory!!! I had to upgrade to 1GB to be able to use it with any degree of comfort. I am very grateful for what the devs did, and that I get such a great thing for free (as in my back pocket), and overall it is astonishing that quality has exceeded all expectations. Let's give Gnome 3 a run for the free speech. Excellent work, guys! Show 'em what you can do. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
