[Maxlinux-devel] KDE 2.2.2?

[Kelledin <kel...@sk...>]

This is a package decision I'd like to throw out to you guys.

Up until now, I've been planning to include both KDE 3 and KDE=20
2.2.2.  Right now I just have KDE 3.0.2 (soon to become 3.0.3),=20
and lately, I've found that it does just about everything better=20
than KDE 2.2.2.  Even the memory footprint is smaller (now THAT=20
impressed me!)  Plus, KDE 3 looks almost exactly like KDE 2 with=20
just the default theme, and with appropriate theming, it's near=20
impossible to spot a difference between the two.  I'm finding=20
less and less reason to include both versions.

So what do you guys think?  Include KDE 2.2.2, or ditch it=20
completely in favor of KDE 3?

I'm not really a KDE user, but I assume that older KDE apps look & work
exactly the same way under both releases?

If that is the case then I suggest ditching 2.x.x & going with 3.x.x

Do you believe in the existance of the non existant existancy from no where?
Where no one exisists in the existance of non existance and those who exist
are not actually existing but are just non existing and are only existing in
their non existing mind of misconception?

Pretty much.  Some KDE apps need porting to work with KDE3, but=20
generally they end up looking the same between KDE3 and KDE2. =20
Even if they don't, I'll probably be compiling KDE-based apps=20
against KDE3 whenever possible, rather than KDE2 (all in the=20
name of progress).

The appearance differences were much more pronounced between KDE1=20
and KDE2 (plus, KDE2 was considerably more resource-hungry than=20
KDE1).  Thus why distros like SuSE included both versions.
