Brilliant! > > Sounds great I will have to wait for the chance to use 4.3. 4.3 now has fixes for almost everything that people complained about. It still is fairly resource hungry, though. There are two issues. Some video cards don't play nicely. This laptop has a 4-year-old ATi video card, and desktop effects are better switched off. Also some people have sound problems, while others have no problem at all. Again, my experience on this laptop is that PulseAudio does not work, so it simply warns me of this when I log in and drops back to the default alsa settings. I have sound in everything, just not the ability to received more than one sound stream at once. I do still use kde3 on CentOS on my server, and it now feels to lack so many things that I've come to rely on ;-), but 4 does do many things differently.
