KDE-3.5.10 has been on here a while and is stable for me at least. I |
| 35 |
haven't checked its current status since I have not synced in a while |
| 36 |

OP, if you have a fairly fast machine, maybe there is some package that |
| 39 |
just needs to be recompiled but is getting missed for some reason. I |
| 40 |
would try a emerge -e world and see what that does for it. If you still |
| 41 |
have the same problem, may need some Raid. If not, well, it works. :-D |
