I've been using 3.5.10 since 080924 without any problems: |
| 13 |
just update to that & then try emerging 4.2.0 . |

My feeling remains that KDE 4 is more eye-candy than useful, |
| 16 |
but I do understand the KDE team's motivation for developing it |
| 17 |
& no doubt it will supersede KDE 3 over the next year or so. |
| 18 |
My plan is to try out 4.2.1 when it's released & gets into testing. |
