22 gcc 3.4.1 is fully stable on /some/ platforms. In fact, on ~amd64, using
23 gcc 3.4.1, and a currently keyword masked (but previously ~amd64)
24 binutils-2.15.91.0.1-r1 that's proven /very/ stable for me here, my system
25 is more stable now than it's been since I got it, on EITHER Mandrake for
26 AMD64 or Gentoo for AMD64.
27
28 That includes KDE 3.3.0-b2, which is as stable as the previous 3.2.2 and
29 3.2.3, here. It was running 3.2.3 kdegraphics stable with 3.3.0-b1
30 everything else as well, b4 the ebuild for it came out.
31
32 I don't run the kroupware stuff like korganizer, neither do I run plugins
33 in konqueror as I've simply not had a need for them and flash probably
34 wouldn't work anyway because AFAIK it isn't available in 64-bit and
35 naturally, attempting to load a 32-bit .so plugin in a 64-bit konqueror
36 would cause issues <g>, so none of the reported issues there have hit me.
37 Neither have the reported issues in kmail and the like, tho I DO use them.
38
39 As far as I'm concerned, it could be KDE 3.3.0 release, and amd64 stable.
