| 212673 | 2004-02-06 10:27:00 | Here's what I just sent the NZLug, and I'll upload to ImageF1 in the next few minutes using these names: KDE-3.2-image1.jpg (sal.neoburn.net) KDE-3.2-image2.jpg (sal.neoburn.net) KDE-3.2-image3.jpg (sal.neoburn.net) Here goes: Ive just freshly compiled 3.2.0 on Gentoo Linux 1.4 Just ran ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge kde Ive now got KDE 3.1.5 and 3.2.0 installed side-by-side. Took around 24 hours on my AMD Athlon XP 1700+ w/512MB RAM. No changing runlevels, I just modified /etc/rc.conf and restarted X I must say that 3.2 is a lot more "refined" looking, as though somebody has taken a lot more care with the minor details! The whole thing looks a lot more "polished around the edges", although I too have only been using it for 10 minutes The new Plastik theme is "alright", but somewhat resembles Windows XP's look with just a little extra style. Right now I have the Plastik Window theme, but Keramik for everything else. Call me a dedicated Linux user, but I dont want my PC looking Redmond-style. In saying that, some will be more at home with it I'd say, and there's even the Redmond splash-screen for KDE included and easy to configure. K Menu layout is different, but practicle. Kcontrol has had a makeover, and while its different, so far Im liking it. The Crystal-svg theme has had a makeover as Chris mentioned. Speed? It takes longer to get _into_ KDE, but when you're actually in, its faster IMHO Aside from that.. We'll take it as it comes. Im updating the family's Ark Linux PC now with the 29th of Jan CVS rpm's, hope they like it The new "loading" animation by the cursor rocks too There's a lot of "little" improvements all over I can see.... This coming from somebody who'd been a GNOME user until a week ago Cheers Chill. |

| 212674 | 2004-02-06 11:33:00 | Not a Linux question - just curiosity on another aspect of your last post... What's the font/typeface shown on your 1st of 3 screenshots? (I mean the one which shows the wording of the above post - if that makes sense...) |

| 212675 | 2004-02-06 11:40:00 | For mandrake 9.2 users there is a bittorrent link here (voidstar.dyndns.org). It includes everything so its 181mb :-(. It was available at the same site via ftp but it became swamped fairly quickly. The torrent is nice and healthy though. I've only just started the download so no gurantees it will work. |

| 212676 | 2004-02-06 11:57:00 | Jen, re md5sum: The md5sum command has a --check flag which comes in handy. The usage is: md5sum --check md5sum Where "md5sum" is the name of a file containing a list of checksums followed by the name of the file. Provided the files are in the same location as specified in the file, it will give each file an OK, or FAIL. |

Excellent tip - thanks, that will save me having to eyeball up each checksum manually in future :) |
