Texstar works hard to provide working 'updates' to 9.0 and 8.x. For
that he should be applauded as he often is. If'n I was still usin 9.0,
I'd probly prefer his rpms over what you'll find on Mandrake
/unsupported/ mirrors. I'm usin cooker with kde 3.0.99, so I haven't
tried Tex's stuff. I'm basing this opinion on past and current
experiences with all his rpms. ('Sides, he's a fellow Texan ;)
BUT, y'all, realize that as soon as you 'upgrade' a release version
of Mandrake, whether with proprietary drivers/applications, or newer
'updates' (other than those released by Mandrake) ... you're on your
own, no longer can or will you be supported. I'm tickled sometimes by
the perception that beta (which is what 3.0.5 is) software should be
avoided, but tainting the system with proprietary closed source apps
and drivers is 'A Good Thing (tm)'.
In any event, the release of KDE 3.1 final is eminent and will soon
be out, 3.2 development has already begun. IME, there's a big jump
between 3.0.5 and the RC candidates. So wait just a bit more. IMO,
y'all would be better off runnin full current cooker 9.1, than doctorin
9.0 and 8.x with 'updates' and proprietary junk.

Re: [newbie] KDE 3.0.5
Tom. I have an off topic question for you.
Is there ANY software development efforts in the Corpus Christy area.
I'm interested in moving there.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [newbie] KDE 3.0.5
Hi Anthony, Did you ever get an answer to this question? I have updated to 3.0.5 and I only use rpm's. I asked about updating kde on the TWUUG list and got an answer. It might be in the archives. IIRC I downloaded all the applicable rpms into a directory and updated from there. It worked.

Re: [newbie] KDE 3.0.5
No, never did Gary. I don't see the RPMs anywhere... checked several mirrors and all that's available seems to be source. Redhat even has updated RPMs, which is really funny because they're usually the last to update KDE! I'll get with you off line if you remember where you got your rpms.
