Another one of those FUD like emails I often see. Anton here has come
out with rather harsh warnings that seems to be intended to keep people
from trying out Fedora 9. Does he work for ?.
First of all I want to thank all you early adopters. You do us all a
great service.
I've tried out KDE 4 myself and had no problems worth reporting.
Disclaimer: I do know how to back up my data and do so often.
Anton I didn't have time to check out all your accusations but I did go
to KDE's site to understand what they have on offer.
As I remembered.
On KDE's primary mirror:
Parent Directory -
3.4.3/ 10-Jan-2008 22:34 -
3.5.6/ 06-May-2008 21:59 -
3.5.7/ 06-May-2008 22:00 -
3.5.8/ 16-Oct-2007 17:06 -
3.5.9/ 06-May-2008 22:00 -
4.0.0/ 02-Apr-2008 08:41 -
4.0.1/ 02-Apr-2008 08:41 -
4.0.2/ 02-Apr-2008 08:41 -
4.0.3/ 02-Apr-2008 03:43 -
4.0.4/ 06-May-2008 22:06 -
All considered stable by the KDE developers.
4.1 series are alphas.
Thanks,
Carlton
The point is. Fedora 9 should be fun to play with and probably in some
situations is exactly what some people and business's need. Don't be a
fool and install it if you can't backup or recover the data you need.
Ask around and I'm sure you can find someone with a Vista machine that
just can't seem to do Vista really cheap.
