I for one am seeing pile of speed improvements on my humble P166 laptop. Very good show KDE folks.
My install went fine. Aside from leaving a pile of directories it couldnot delete, it went in like a champ. No further issues beyond PixiePlus. For some reason Kmail is asking me to configure my PGP plugin. Have to figure that one out. Thanks to all who helped.
