Hi Shridhar,
On my home pc which is still P166 MMX with 48MB RAM the older KDE is atleast little
bit fast. KDE2 is very slow. Don't ask me to load Kword etc. It's loading time may be
faster compared to Staroffice, because you are loading individual applications here
like Kword, Kspread etc.
I prefer write now IceWM window manager along with old KFM file manager :-)
