I must have missed this thread. kde-redhat's [1] RPM packages for CentOS5/RHEL are -very- stable. (The project itself is lead by the same people who lead the Fedora KDE SIG group. (That's doing most of the work behind Fedora/KDE). I use it on a number of RHEL5 and CentOS5 machines and I have no problem with it. As for the thread itself, if you're willing to upgrade the machine once a year, Fedora 8 should be OK. (Be aware the Fedora 7 is reaching EOL fast). - Gilboa [1] http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
