Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I am not currently subscribing to the list(s). I am looking for an honest opinion. I currently am a Debian 2.2.r2 (with several extensions) user. Because of several circumstances among which are:
1) I manually installed Xfree86-4.0.2 over the stable version to get access to the 3D capabilities--running fine 2) I installed KDE2.1 from Ivan via his potato archives at kde.tdyc.com--running fine 3) kde.tdyc.com is now gone so Ivan has no where to upgrade that tree for us stable users--Ivan has gone far and beyond what most people would have put up with this. I could live with, but for a desire to keep kde 2.1 bug-fixes current via apt-get. 4) I just found out over the web how to use anti-aliasing fonts under kde 2.1 and I would very much like to do that--neat stuff!! 5) I have everything I need to use the anti-aliasing features except the potato version of kde2.1 is not compiled to handle it.-- :-( I understand though! So, to get what I want, I can either 1) bite the bullet and upgrade to 'testing' and install the kde 2.1 packages that have anti-aliasing capability compiled in, or 2) try to build the kde 2.1 packages from source like some have done I really would rather go with option 1. My only concern is the stability, etc. What has been the experience of those who are now running 'testing' ?? And I will listen. Please e-mail responses directly if possible. Thanks... P.S. do I need 'testing' or 'unstable' ? If 'unstable', I will hold. -- James D. Freels, P.E._i, Ph.D. Oak Ridge National Laboratory [EMAIL PROTECTED] - work [EMAIL PROTECTED] - home
