I think special thanks goes to credativ (www.credativ.de) who employs me part
time and we installed woody systems recently that required KDE 3.1 at a
customers site. If it weren't for that it would have taken me much longer to
do this on a volunteer basis. Being a SuSE user for years I'm extremely
impressed myself that Debian makes things so easy although it's been said to
be an expert system only.
BTW the new Knoppix 3.2 is using my packages also it seems :-)
