I use both debian on a 686 and slackware, and on my slack box i have kde 3.4, its great. They made a few good changes you may like.
I think I'm gonna try 3.4 as soon as I find the time (never compiled from cvs before...). But what I *really* look forward to is 4.0

isnt a pentium 3 and 4 i686 anyway?
yeah, I think so, but pentium3 & 4 are i686 and more.

I have KDE 3.3 and 3.4 installed. 3.3 from Debian, and thats where the prelink results are from. I have 3.4 compiled and installed to /usr/local/kde So they are completley seprate.
That's really strange. I guess I have to try a new debian installation after all; there couldn't be differences between the different pools, could there? I used the German pool.

lol. after i bought a mac in summer i have totally lost track of my pc hardware
Yeah, next time I get a computer, I'm definitely gonna get a powerbook; they seem really good nowadays (never heard a powerbook/ibook owner ever complain about anything) - only thing that bugs me is the gfx-card support from nvidia/ati, which is totally absent...

I shouldn't think there'd be any diffrence at all. You'd just have the kde-i18n-de package where I have the kde-i18n-engb package. Unless is was an older version or something, or perhaps ( if you where using unstable ) a mistake was made with a particular version that was corrected later.

Actually, kde-i18n-de wasn't part of kde. I remember haveing the us-package, which is very good since my German is a tad lame nowadays

It was probably that particular compile then (I used sid)...
