I doubt it ran well with such
hardware; I already tried to use KDE 3.1
with a 350MHz K6-II and 224 MB RAM and it was dog slow compared to
the old GNOME2 provided by the distribution (distribution: Mandrake
9.1). As a comparison, I already ran the Fedora 14 KDE LiveCD (KDE
4.5.2) with a 2004 entry-level desktop (2,4 GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM)
and the performances were better than Mandriva 2006 (KDE 3.4.2) as a
LiveCD on the K6-II.
That's all for KDE3 supposedly being incredibly lighter than KDE4 (and
no is isn't the graphics card, unless you consider an Intel 845G as a
good graphics card).
There are only a few things that are missing from KDE4 to be a really
great desktop out of the box:
-sane default options
-good graphics drivers on the underlying OS
-sane default options
Right
away AFAIK we would lose DCOP integration,
which should not be any issue for a
window manager. Window managers
use X for IPC as well you get D-Bus integration. Given that in the long run you want to
migrate to Qt 4
no, martin, they don't. they want to use QT3, stay there, and
continue to maintain QT3 as a proper honest-to-god _real_ and _active_
Free Software Community Project (*1). it consumes significantly less
resources. you remember KDE 3 minimum requirements from 8 years ago?
i do. 500mhz Pentium III and only 128mb of RAM.

(*1) nokia / trolltech's one-way-push of source code - 6 months late -
is *not* a community-driven project.
