[newbie] kde2

[TRBishop]

Hello All,
Giving Mandrake 7.0 a spin for a while.  Very nice!  Many great additions
since 6.0.  On the contrib. CD I noticed .rpms for kde2.  Is this what I think
it is?  Is this beta or what?  If I install the various kde2 .rpms, will I mess
up my desktop/system, or will it integrate nicely?  I have to admit I miss a
couple of apps that I had with SuSE for networking. Where can I find some more
info? I poked around a bit, but didn't come up with much. Thanks for your help.
  Tom
