As far as i'm concerned it's a pile of shit, a big pile of shit. I have it installed flawlessly using the apt sources. You also might need to install unstable in the sources.list until it pulls in all the right packages. Also, I heard the Brandon's excellent X 4.2 packages are good to have before starting to upgrade to kde3. Finally, you need to purge kde2.2 before pulling in kde3.0. I'm thinking of making a shell script to do all this for people: cat $x-line >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update;apt-get install x-window-system cat $x-line >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get -y remove --purge `dpkg -l | grep kde' and so on. :) > I don't give a rats ass what anyone else thinks of kde, nor what others > think of my opinion, it can be shoved in a nice brown orifice for all I > care.

Take up a new hobby such as basket weaving. Your attitude is not good for yourself nor others. I mean this is a good way, be nicer to yourself. You seem like you've beat your head against the wall, and I'm sorry about that. I've been there. Have a nice life.
