I was googling around and found someone had created site for cvs of KDE 3.2 for Debian (sid). After following the directions I had KDE 3.2 on my system. It is just totally awsome
I started out with knoppix and did a hd install.
I then modified everything to my liking.
I then installed Gnome 2.4 and XFCE4.
But KDE 3.2 is just the ticket for me.
I now have a very bleeding edge setup. Kernel 2.6-test6 and the rest.
I really like the shadowing of the applications.
There are still a few upgrade problems but that is expected, ie. some the the packages did not want to install. (4 to be exact.). I need to turn off the little annoying sounds when you make an error.
Yet, it is just awsome and very responsive not slugish at all.
