My experience is that the Gentoo KDE devs are rather conservative & tend to leave versions in 'testing' a bit longer than necessary. I've been using 3.5.1 for about 2 weeks without any problems & before that 3.5.0 from the beginning of January ditto. I trust KDE not to release a version with serious bugs, but otherwise do avoid 'testing' versions of critical packages, eg Portage: not long ago, there was a serious bug in the 'testing' Bash 3.0 , which was quickly fixed, but caused a few people real trouble. While KDE is my usual desktop manager, it isn't critical to my system, as I have Fluxbox installed too & could switch to that in an emergency. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
