Also, I suppose, with nearly all distros dropping KDE-3.5 I was almost forced to go the KDE4 route if I wanted to stay up to date. I agree that it was a mess to start with and I was not an early adopter and as I said I still use KDE-3.5 on three low powered machines and have no problem with that. I've tried Gnome,XFCE, E17 even just basic Openbox but I am a definite KDE fan whichever flavour. (Been with it since about 1999) I must admit to not having tried Trinity yet, as up until now there have been no packages for my distros of choice i.e. Mandriva/Mageia. I have tried repackaging the RedHat/Fedora packages but have not been successful. (I'm not much of a packager but I can sometimes manage to bodge my way through with someone elses SRPMs.) I've installed Francois' packages on this machine and have booted into Trinity to see that it works but started to have problems immediately with kmail trying to convert my mailbox and ktorrent upset so shut it down and went back to KDE4. I will try when I get some time, to try it with a new user. I will definitely be trying it on my netbooks when Francois' SRPMs are available so I can build 32 bit versions for my own distro. -- Richard. http://www.leiston.info http://www.rose-linux.net
