Greetings
Believe it or not I've only come across a reference to trinity in the last week or so
when checking out porteus usb-stick linux.
It really cheered me up that kde3 (as tde) is still not only alive but seemingly very
healthy!
At present I am still using kubuntu 8.04 for obvious reasons but would be delighted to
install a more up-to-date os and tde
on another partition on my hard drive.
I have already downloaded kubuntu 12.04 (always in the hope, in vain, that it had somehow
become more kde3 than kde4!)
but I don't see any mention of (k)ubuntu 12.04 in the installation instruction page,
so I presume I should use a release from
last year. Also I notice that ubuntu 11.10 is mentioned rather than kubuntu 11.10. Is it
recommended that I use ubuntu 11.10
rather than kubuntu 11.10 in case of conflicts? Or does it matter at all? I also have an
iso of xubuntu 11.10 - would that be
suitable?
Any advice would be welcomed.
Thanks
Lou

First of all, welcome to the Trinity mailing list :-)
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and it works very well. 12.04 does not yet
have stable Trinity packages. I originally installed the regular
ubuntu 11.10 and installed trinity packages on top of it. There
shouldn't be any conflicts with KDE4, but it's annoying to have it
wasting space on my system - so I installed the regular Ubuntu, and
then uninstalled Unity. Xubuntu 11.10 would be suitable.

Because I have bad experiences with non-LTS Ubuntu versions, I would
recommend using Kubuntu Lucid. You can download an ISO with
Lucid+Trinity as well, but the Trinity version is not up to date
(although it works fine).
The standard kernel is old, but newer kernels have been backported to
Lucid and you can install them through the repositories.
Basically Kubuntu Lucid with Trinity and a backported kernel is what I
tend to set up now.
Ubuntu Precise is the next LTS, but it still has many bugs and Trinity
doesn't work that great on it (you can hack up the Oneiric release to
install or use the nightlies, but neither are problem free). Hopefully
with the next Trinity release and more bugfixing by the Ubuntu team, it
will be able to supersede Lucid.
Best regards,
Julius

11.10 and kubuntu 10.04 (lts) to see which are the most stable on my sys. (I
found the kubuntu 8.04 as stable as one could want - it's just that it's
getting OLD, like myself !).
