Agreed, removal is more difficult. I did instal the debs on my initial
system install. I chose purge and to compile this time primarily for two
reasons:
1. I'm running on a laptop with a 1.3 Gb hard drive and I want the system
as lean as possible. By compiling, I can optimize for a pentium and eliminate
the debug/exceptions code. Smaller footprint.
2. Despite what the FSH says, logic says put kde in /opt/kde. (I know,
I've heard the arguments for and against.) Simply put, (and quoting D. Powell
in "Practical KDE", no argument beats the ability to do a simple backup of the
windowing system when it's in /opt/kde). So, the compile lets me configure for
an /opt/kde install.
