I do use apt, i was just wondering how the kde upgrade went. I mean i
think it is one thing to upgrade a single program, but kde is huge. i
have heard that kde3.2 is much better than kde-3.1.
In fact, I am not a kde user. I use gnome, but I heard a lot of nice
things about the new kde, so I thought that I would give it a try.
thanks,
amp
