Yes, please don't include this in universe, it confuses the hell out of people. Please remember there are many, many light weight Linux users out there that really have no idea what kde3 or kde4 is and don't care. They don't care about Gnome-2.16 or Gnome 2.18 ether just that the software doesn't completely mess them up. With the popularity of Ubuntu now and probably never again is the time to mess with Universe so close to a release. Just my $0.02 worth. Why not just make a kde experimental repository for the the time being. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
