I think the statement made about it was that, unlike 2.9x, the 3.0x readme did not claim that it had passed lots of testing. Doesn't mean it hasn't. But the confirmation is lacking. I compiled KDE 2.1.1 with it and it ran fine. If you don't need features in 3.0x, the latest 2.9x is probably safest. -- ===================================================================== Roger Oberholtzer E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OPQ Systems AB WWW: http://www.opq.se Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 115 32 Stockholm Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 Sweden Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
