KDE 3.0 has been released - Get It!
voidmain:
I always uninstall at the command line using "rpm". First do an "rpm -qa | grep gnome" then "rpm -e <packagename>". If a package depends on something else it will tell you, remove the dependent packages first. P.S. I am *really* liking this KDE 3.0. Hopefully you have broadband. I downloaded and installed all 206MB of it. First I shut X down, uninstalled all of my KDE 2.2.2 then did an "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" in the directory where I downloaded everything. This was on a RedHat 7.2 Laptop. Also before logging in for the first time I renamed all of the key config directories under my home directory so I could get a fresh 3.0 desktop. (rename ~/.kde, ~/.kde2, ~/Desktop, ~/.kpackage, ~/.kdevelop, ~/.qt, ~/.kderc, and you might have a couple of more). Everything worked perfectly after starting up except for the KDE Help Center. I figured out that I needed to upgrade "libxslt". Grabbed that RPM from www.rpmfind.net
Good luck! It's worth it! Or you could wait for the next RedHat/Mandrake/SuSe release which will surely come with 3.0 on the CD. So far I would say it's well worth downloading if you have high speed.

Can you do me a favor please.. does that selection box only change what's in the XftConfig file? I've tried modifying that already and mozilla still won't listen to it.
If it doesn't, then maybe I'll consider compiling it.. argh the Debian packages arent out yet..

It appears to be a graphical configuration for XftConfig, although you can select a different file to configure XftConfig is the default. There are many options. Having said that I just fired up Mozilla (Build ID: 2001090111) and the fonts appear to me to be antialiased. All the fonts look good to me (actually better than Konqueror which I think is much improved over the 2.2 version). I would hate for you to have to download and compile the source and not have it work the way you want though. Maybe at least wait for the deb packages..

of course i have broadband. You're talking to the guy who downloaded 3 GB of linux (all of redhat and mandrake).
If i download KDE from ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/packages/desktops/kde/stable/3.0/Red%20Hat/i386 does that mean i have to dl all (or most) of those RPMs???
voidmain:
I downloaded all of them except for the kde-i18n* files (lang files). I got them from http://download.au.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0/Red%20Hat/i386/ and it was a pretty fast download (of course these are the RedHat binaries, other distros are there as well). "wget" with the right options will pull just what you want in a single command.

What did I do wrong?
i went into the ftp command line thing (in the konsole)and tried to open ftp://ftpserver (i tried a few different ftp servers). with each server i tried it would say "name or service unknown"
