I didn't see any posts on this.

KDE 3.0 was released yesterday.

http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.0.html

Has anyone tried it out yet?

Is KDE3 any faster than 2.2.2, if so how much faster.

I am using kde 3. And it is a bit faster, but it seems much more stable and has some cool new features. If you have a digital camera, you can "browse" to the stored images, simply by typing "camera:/" in konqueror. Konqueror web browser is much better. I have not yet been to a page that it will not render (there were many pages I could not see in 2.2.2).
There are some cool new themes, and styles.
All in all I would highly recomend it.

Ya I saw the release of KDE3.0 too. I got some question to ask will anyone help?
I saw lotsa files in the download directory , must I download all???

what files should i download to get the KDE 3.0
the total for all RPM files r about 200 mega

Actualli i'm getting fine with KDE2.2.2 but if KDE 3.0 is great of cos i wanna give it a try, Why not Linux is FREE remember?!

i have heard from a few users of KDE 3 that it is better, faster, more staber and got new themes
so i think it deserve that i d/l it anyone
althoug i am using dial up modem
with a slow conection
but i/ll d/l it anyway
cos it is FREEEEEEEEEEEEE

How issit? have you installed it?

cos i am still d/l them
remember i am using a dial up modem
it means that i d/l the 1 mega in 4 min minimum
so wait for a fw days till i can install it

I think there are about 40 over plus of them are you downloading all?

KDE 3 is very nice. I think the main problems people are having are due to dodgy packages, not KDE itself because I compiled from source (no Debian packages available yet), and everything is working beautifully.

safrout: you *must* have arts, kdelibs, kdebase and qt-copy. The other packages are optional, but you probably want to grab one of the kde-i18n packages unless US English is your native language (even I get the en_GB package because I can't stand all the incorrect spellings )

The other packages are pretty self-explanatory - e.g. you'll need kdenetwork if you want kmail, knode and kppp etc.

i have d/l the following files for mandrake 8.2
arts3-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdeartwork3-3.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdeedu3-3.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdenetwork3-3.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdetoys3-3.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
libqt3-3.0.3-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdeaddons3-3.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdebase3-3.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdegraphics3-3.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdelibs3-3.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
