Mandrake needs money but it will not be mine as I will not buy 8.2 without KDE3 (not after buying 7.2 and 8.0). Yes I can download it but it is a pain in the neck to install from multiple rpm files. So, will I buy SuSE? Maybe just to have a look at KDE3. Would I buy Mandrake 8.2 with a choice of KDE3 and KDE2.2 (one or the other at install time but not both)? YES (even with KDE3rc2)! -- Luc Roseberry Consultant Tivoli certifi� / Certified Tivoli Consultant Facilit� Informatique Canada
