Hi all! After updating my hosts in my house to the new stable, Debian Squeeze, I'm thinking of upgrading my desktop to Squeeze. With my hosts with Lenny in general, except for some things, everything was working after upgrading to Squeeze, but I worry that something is broken in the upgrade from KDE 3.5 to KDE 4.4, as this PC is used to study and work and I wish the minimal downtime. I wonder what experiences you had to update KDE and its applications to new versions of Squeeze and the considerations to keep in mind throughout this process. Thanks in advance for your replies. Regards, Daniel
I used Synaptic so I could hunt down all the kde version 3.5.10 packages and remove them, that will help with stability, also you maybe interested in http://qt-kde.debian.net/ you can install Kde Version 4.5.3, everybody using 4.5.3 is saying it's the best kde-4 release, it sure beats the heck out of 4.4 that comes with squeeze.
I've also used Trinity 3.5.12, it works fine with Ubuntu but I don't think it is satisfactory for Debian, to many kdesu and sudo permission problems for me, but I repeat, it works fine with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/cdimages/index_old.html
