I already changed and I think there are great improvements between the previous version and the current one.
Cheers,

I'll change when the new SuSe distro comes out which should have it included.

There's too many problems if I try and update to KDE 3.2 under Suse 9.0

3.x KDE-IDE

Tested the 3.x ide.
sorry for not upgrading from 2.x.

reason:
the text/edit windows can not be (re-)arranged. it looks like all windows have tab labels only. well, they could be moved around in ideal mode. but that is not what is required. required would be at least two buttons in the working line to arrange the open source-text windows. one for cascade, the other one for none overlapping. and it would be very convenient to have buttons for this purpose, not just accessible through a sequence of clicks like *windows...arrange...none overlapping* (as in version 2.x).
thank you for considering this option.

everything else of the new ide pleases me very much, so i really regret to not being able to upgrade.:x

btw: nice to see you (anda_skoa) here, too. :D

Official Debian Testing/Unstable KDE3.2

...anyone?
Debian's Official Sarge (current testing) release may be not too far in the future.
I guess we the KDE3.2 fans need to make sure that 3.2 ends up in Debian-Unstable soon, in order to spend its required trial time there. Only then can it make it into Sarge in time.

I would like to help out but lack qualification :cry:
On my Sarge system (on a Dell Laptop) a konstruct install failed and for now I am stuck...so I do not feel compelled to be the leader in this effort

Any responses?

Congratulations to KDE team on another premature release and while refusing to fix existing bugs you succesfully unleashed a boatload of new ones. Great job. Just wonderful.
Does word "accountability" mean something to you people?

? k3b barfed on me & kmenu is slightly 'off' but besides that it's well worth the change.

I will change when Fedora Core 2 comes out. I find upgrading desktops between distro releases is a dicey affair. Things just don't 'feel' right or work quite right. I tried the Fedora Core 1 KDE 3.2 RPMS, but the fonts in Konqueror for many websites were too big. Changing the font size in the Settings option would have no effect. The only thing I could do was hit CTL + minus three times. That's a pain to have to do everytime. I realize it's a Fedora issue, not KDE. When making a release, distros seem to spend more time on the little things. Between releases, it seems distros just compile stuff without trying to make things fit as they do at release time. Anyway...I could be way off base here.

I guess thats why I want to start using Debian (after using Mandrake, Suse and debian before, and even trying ark-linux and a few others)

cuz debian (strives to) offers smooth upgrades from one to another version.

I'll see wheter they succeed...

I upgraded using Slack packages. 8)

All I had to do was download all of the necessary packages and do upgradepkg *.tgz in the correct directory. :D

I've done sums which were harder.

My vote was "Changing when (first) update releases", but it would be more accurate to say after the first couple of updates.....or after a certain period of time (enough time to see if any bugfixes get released or not)

I just compiled 3.2.1 from source and everything seems to be working.......... :)
