I find the forums rather juvenile with a high noise/signal ratio. |

Could you give a bit more detail of the kind of help |
17 |

KDE is very well-maintained upstream |
23 |
& I've been using 3.5.6 since 070217 without any problems, |
24 |

28 |
I would probably go elsewhere, tho' very reluctantly. |
29 |
I could install it in /usr/local , |

but I doubt if that would be adequate for long. |
