Re: [PLUG] Distro for KDE

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I don't recall many specifics since it was about 2.5 or 3 years ago but I found
that applications would crash far more often than with OpenSuSE. Kmail was a
particular problem for me. I just remember it being not-ready-for-prime-time.
To be fair, it was a while ago and, as Alex points out, 10.4 is probably worth a
try.
My problem is that I use my Linux workstation to get my work done. If it fails
me or hassles me with too many problems then I just get frustrated. Re-doing
the system is also a weekend-long hassle of hard drive shuffling, home directory
restoring, and application installing. I'm beyond the point in my life where I
can invest a few weekends a year just hopping from distro to distro until I find
one that works as I need. For example, I used SuSE and then OpenSuSE from SuSE
4 until OpenSuSE 10.1 I've used 8.10 Ubuntu on this system since it came out.
I have not heard of Arch or Pacman but I'll look them up. I tend to stay with
"big" distros (read: lots of eyes, lots of support if needed.)
