KDE4 is very >different, the way of the future and the latest KDE 4.2 release is >pretty stable. I agree that KDE 4 is the way of the future and that KDE 4.2 is fairly stable. I'm using it myself. I don't agree that KDE 4 is very different from KDE 3 on the surface.[1] I have a virtually identical setup under KDE 4.2 as I had under KDE 3.5. I am still missing a few things because KDE 4.2 is still not as complete as KDE 3.5.10. Moving from KDE 3.5.10 to whatever KDE 4 is "shipped" with Squeeze should be relatively painless. There may even be a kdesktop+superkaramba+kicker -> plasma converter (either as part of kaboom, or just part of KDE). -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ [1] Underneath, KDE 4 is cleaner, leaner, and more modular and powerful.
