Re: [PLUG] Redhat up2date


Because KDE3 is a re-write, you may need to recompile your apps for them to work. I am using RH7.2, and I use rpmfind --autoupgrade to install RPMs on my box. If you do just rpmfind, you will get a list of options you may use.

No, I haven't seen those posts.. but I've been in #debian for the past
couple of days and every 10 minutes, it seems someone comes in saying
"where can i get kde3?".  The topic in #debian-kde is:

[#debian-kde] Topic: kde3 will not go into sid until xfree86 4.2, but that
does not mean that kde3 will not run with xfree 4.1. and no, its not
readyyet.

I'm a little bit anxious ;)  But I'd rather have a working system than a
slow and buggy machine, I guess.  I've already seen some apps listed on
apps.kde.com that said they required kde 3.0, though..
