KDE 2 is out in september indeed, and is very worthwile the wait imho. put some more time in customizing it for stormix, make a stormix theme, icons (like SuSE is doing, they even hired a kde icon designer). > My experience with 2 of the software packages you mention(with > an potato upgraded Stormix). > -kernel 2.4.0-test1 > fast,my CDRW won't work and lost a FAT16 partition when writing to > it > from Linux first time-never happened before with 2.2.-series .I had a > backup so no big deal.Stil it's not something to be released with a > commercial distro.I would agree here with Debian's point of view-at > least > 2.4.2 if you need your data.Of course if you're willing to risk you can > use even now 2.4.0-test1 -I do.

This is why i said to wait for xfree's release coming in june, xforce seems to think this will be better, and they are waiting for that release before inclusion into debian. > -KDE2 is a moving target but now you can try it with the kdepackages > from http://kde.tdyc.com .It's still early beta so ...maybe Storm can > post on the ftp some tested packages,known to work with Storm and > potato, > ofcourse nobody would expect them to give a warranty on them-maybe under > a beta test directory. KDE 2 beta compiles fine out of the box on potato, and the next beta will compile fine too (/me tests them) Maarten _______________________________________________ Stormlinux-users-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stormix.com/community/lists/listinfo/stormlinux-users-list
