Hi,
just FYI - I got KDE 3.2 onto my laptop yesterday, previously
running 3.1.4 (all of it on Gentoo, kernel 2.6).
I found KDE 3.2 to be a good bit quicker than the previous
version, which already was a huge improvement over even older
ones.
This goes to show that software doesn't have to go the bloatware
trip (ok, I guess MacOS X shows the same).
Also, I didn't encounter any bugs yet.
Greetings, Eric
