    I hope they'll wait for KDE 3.4.1. The .1 releases have traditionally been translation releases (unless something has changed recently).

    It's rather frustrating to do translations, and then notice that they are never packaged in some Linux distributions, because the packagers don't have patience to wait for the translation release. Other than English-speaking people use Linux too, you know.

    Well, probably most of the translations get in time for 3.4, so the problem isn't that big.

    Yeah, but since English is the most common language in the PC using world, why in the hell should we have to wait for somebody to translate it for all of you hethens that do not speak English? I say include it as long as its relatively stable. As soon as it is translated, release the translations. Having the whole world wait for the distro to be translated into slqkssavaish or whatever is the newest Eastern European language is rather pointless.

    "Sadly your average tech fiddler on the street would have given up with this pallava and installed Windows."

    If these kinds of issues make them give up then they aren't tech fiddlers. Just common every day dime a dozen users who like to think they're tech inclinced. ie point and click monkeys.

    "XP Installation went without a hitch and worked perfectly first time. It can even play MP3's out of the box ;)

    So for all you Slashdotters out there who think a Linux install is easier than I Windows install, well it can be. Provided nothing goes wrong. Which is unlikely."

    Your ignorance is astounding and complete. I couild just as easily compare a failed XP install to a successful Linux one and reach the same (invalid) conclusion.

    Next time you post make sure you have at least an hour of experience beyond the trained monkey stage and try to at least pretend you have half a clue. I doubt you'll fool anyone though.
