KDE 3.1 is better than 3.0.x. also, you'll want to install 3.0.5a as it has lots of bugfixes, including a slew of security fixes. however, 32MB of RAM is going to be your limiter. you will want at LEAST 64MB to run KDE (or GNOME, for that matter), and even then you'll want to tone down the eyecandy (no large wallpapers, etc) and keep things simple. 96-128MB tends to be the "sweet spot" if you want to stick to 32MB of RAM then i suggest going with a light environment like Blackbox, IceWM, WindowMaker, etc... and corresponding light tools such as ROX for the file manager, Nedit for text editting, etc... but RAM is cheap enough that an extra 32MB (or 64, or even 96) shouldn't kill you to get =) - -- Aaron J.
