When I put KDE 3.0.5 on my 5.0-RC1 box it took just about 20 hours (600mhz with 384MB PC100... backup box ;)) but it runs faster (as compared to KDE on a 4.7-RELEASE). Im willing to give up a bit more comiple time to get better performance out of my apps. =) -Nick "Harm" Hale ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff L.
