Though I don’t use either Gnome version, I believe that we are quite safe with Gentoo for a while longer, as compared with most other distros out there. At least that is what I remember from my KDE experience; (almost) all distros jumped on the KDE 4 waggon as soon as the still unusable 4.1 and let KDE 3 fall instantly without alternative. OTOH, Gentoo remained with KDE3 as the main version for a comparably long time, and I am very grateful for that. And even after KDE4 became “stable” in portage, we could still use both in parallel for even longer before KDE3 was finally removed from portage. I think I made the final and complete switch as late as 4.3 or 4.4. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' I forbid any use of my email addresses with Facebook services.
