Thanks for the info Sridhar. So which one would you recommend for someone who wants to keep up on the latest software developments? If I want to be mostly compatible with the software I'm using now, would it be best to use the Freq's? I ask because I had KDE 2.2 alpha, and now want the final version of KDE 2.2. When I tried to upgrade it, I had several dependency errors, none of which could be satisfied, and I mucked with my system enough to kill it, so I had to reinstall LM 8.0 from scratch. Thanks!
