And kde.org is slashdotted already. :D
Anyways, isn't this a bit soon? 3.2 isn't that old...

Damn! I just upgraded to 3.2! But I am glad that they are still improving

KDE sucks, it's bloated and slow, it fucks up and locks up.
KDE eats RAM, you shouldn't need 512MB just to word process, 64MB should be more than enough.
Even Windows XP is faster than KDE.
I can load up 20 large JPG files in Flux Box and it's faster than KDE is with just an xterm box open.
I'm happy with 256MB of RAM, why should I buy another 256MB and install KDE and watch my system become more unstable and slow.

Your opinion. KDE is a lot faster than that of XP. Its skinnable and has a more friendly user face.
to clear up the FUD.

Bull! I'm running KDE on 24mb ram! Works fine! XP can't even install on that machine.

Of course Flux Box is a lighter GUI. Its a lot lighter than even XP!

I agree. Why should anyone pay for more ram to run windows when KDE can even run on 24 mb's of ram with no problem!
KDE. stable, fast and user friendly!
WMD:
KDE certainly isn't slow, as long as you let it use that huge chunk of RAM it likes. Usually 150MB assuming no swap and including disk cache.
You can run it on a 24/32MB machine, but it's slow and needs lots of disk churning. I should get my Slack 9.1 drive back into my 32MB machine and upgrade it to 3.2.3 from 3.1.4, see if that machine speeds up. (I doubt it will)
