At least that is what I remember from my KDE experience; (almost) all distros jumped on the KDE 4 waggon as soon as the still unusable 4.1 and let KDE 3 fall instantly without alternative. OTOH, Gentoo remained with KDE3 as the main version for a comparably long t= ime, and I am very grateful for that. And even after KDE4 became =E2=80=9Cstable= =E2=80=9D in portage, we could still use both in parallel for even longer before KDE3 was finally removed from portage. I think I made the final and complete switch = as late as 4.3 or 4.4. --=20 Gru=C3=9F | Greetings | Qapla' I forbid any use of my email addresses with Facebook services.
