KDE 3.0 has been released - Get It!
InsomniacMike:
I just installed KDE 3.0 on my FreeBSD Desktop, and boy oh boy I'm loving it. ( so far, it's been about 15 minutes ) Lol.
Also, I'd suggest you get a binary distribution if you could... having previously compiled KDE, it takes _HOURS_, even on my Athlon Thunderbird 950MHz. Not that I'm saying my proc is the fastest in the world, but it's fairly decent.
I also prefer KDE over Gnome, but seeing as Sun will be shipping Gnome 2.0 as it's default windows environment when it comes out, I might want to check it out.
Good day to you all,
Mike

Sun never did have a taste for a good desktop environment in my opinion. I never liked OpenWindows and I don't like CDE. I guess they're keeping up the tradition by putting on another window manager that I don't like. Oh well, they make money off of their equipment that has no need for a window manager running. I use a lot of Sun equipment but I prefer Linux on i386 with KDE or Enlightenment, or WindowMaker for my desktop. KDE 3.0 looks like it will be the choice for a while now. I've got 3 days on it now and I love it. Much better than 2.x. Things are faster, cleaner and more functionality.

i'm stuck with versions of KDE, GNOME, Enlightenment et cetera from last year :( if not the year before in some cases...
not long now though, before i get the red hat 7.2 CDs (apparently mandrake 8.2 beta is possibly full of bugs according to mandrakesoft SA, so i might steer clear of it)
Hey, i tried to use kfm in GNOME, and it was not liking it at all, any idea of a window manager that can run in both KDE and GNOME? i suppose enlightenment does it, but i will never use half the flashy stuff in enlightenment, so i'd like to save my CPU some unnecessary turnover...
Just idle gossip, don't feel like you must answer my questions, all that is going to happen is i'll get red hat 7.2, and then i'll hunt down the latest window managers to try and get one i like.
Does the newest enlightenment come with red hat btw?
Master of Reality:
i cant get KDE 3 to install.
How do i uninstall KDE 2 fully? I think i did "rpm -qa | grep KDE" and then "rpm -e" to each of the rpms listed, and their dependencies, but when i tried to install KDE 3 it said it has or needs a list of dependencies.
I tried isntalling red hat 7.2 without KDE or gnome, and when i downloaded kde 3 (from my ftp site that got a max of according to wget 6.98 Mb/s), and ran "rpm -Uvf *.rpm" in the directory i dled it to, it said that it has or needs a list dependencies or something.
Now re-installed Red Hat again (i need to majorly change where all the partions were, to get rid of windows this time) with KDE 2.X.

voidmain:
There will be a couple of non-critical dependencies after you remove all the kde2 stuff. (X11/Cards, and a couple more). Once you get it to the point where you have kde removed you can change into the directory you downloaded kde3 and type:
rpm -Uvh *.rpm --nodeps --force
Worked for me on several machines already.
