KDE 4.2 is slotted so I just built it as normal from within kde 4.1.4 |
| 20 |
while continuing to use the system. When the emerge finished, I |
| 21 |
continued in 4.1.4 for about an hour until I hit a stopping point, then |
| 22 |
dispatched-conf (no kde conf changes) logged out and chose 4.2 and |
| 23 |
logged back in (didn't even restart X). This was smoothest kde upgrade |
| 24 |
that I can recall, big kudos to the devs! |

A few hours into using 4.2 and no glitches! I'm actually able to use |
| 27 |
plasmoids without 10 second UI freezes. Whoop! And that's on nvidia |
| 28 |
8600GTS and ~x86. First impression is 4.2 is ready for prime time. |

Have fun, |
