Simple words: Make the jump.
I'm using Gentoo with KDE 3.2 right now on my laptop only because Gentoo had
XFree86 4.3 which supported my Radeon 9M. Now that XF 4.3 is in Debian
Unstable, I'm switching back. Compiling takes too long to update on Gentoo.
KDE 3.2 is nice, but I'm happy enough with KDE 3.1. Kontact is the killer app
of KDE 3.2 as well as some other minor changes (which are very nice to have
but not too important). I'll miss plastik for a while :-P
KDE 3.2 experimental deb's are around. You can learn from:
http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianKDE
Here are my tips on using Debian. Install the minimum base and then change to
unstable (/etc/apt/sources.list).
Do a: apt-get install aptitude
aptitude makes handling Debian upgrades/installs extremely easy! dselect is
junk by comparison.
Best of luck,
Geoff.
