I've got vanilla KDE 3.5.4 on my new CentOS install, rock solid, got all
the multimedia libs I could want, so far nothing breaks, it works like I
want. I also installed Kubuntu. I have to be careful not to apt-get any
KDE package that smells like ver.4 just to make sure that doesn't get
drug into my system. Kubuntu does get under my nerves without a root
login to a root desktop. But, it IS slick. Ric
