slam, is that on sidux?
Edit: Duurrr, just noticed it is.
Great though I don't use kde. Any idea what RAM minimal is needed for it? Is kde going to get heavier and heavier? How does it run at the moment? |

The live cd is Suse-based - slow and buggy, specially it's famous Yast2.
KDE 4 itself seems to be in good state - Dolphin does fine, interesting new features and fine art work for the icons. The memory usage is obviously less then before.
Most important libs are still missing, as most applications are still not ported to new QT - so, there is no hurry to install it or even ask for it beeing packaged in Debian Sid. It will be added to Debian Experimental however shortly. Be aware that it will definitely bork your sidux install if installed from there .
Greetings,
Chris |

Did you know:
Debian/stable will have KDE 4 before Kubuntu, when you don't count unofficial community releases.
And sidux will be one of the first 
And before KDE 4.0 is out, AMD users should be able to handle the new desktop effects  |

This is quite fascinating. I am wondering if AMD users such as myself, with 4 year old hardware such as AMD Athlon XP Barton core and Radeon 9800 Pro/XT (R350/R360) will be able to handle it. I don't need 3d acceleration on the desktop, but hopefully any 2d improvements will be helpful. |

you mean ATI users?
I think the desktop effects rely on the same stuff as compiz does. So it should work for nvidia, intel and ati with free driver. |

quite interesting.
when most apps are ported to Qt4, it will though be much more interesting.
Qt4 ist faster than its predecessor and also seems to have a smaller hunger for ressources.
so kde4 ist going to become a very nice desktop!
greetgins,

Good coz as of yet im pretty unimpressed with the screenshots ive seen. Hopefully in use its more exciting than the screens of that live cd make it look. |

I have the feeling that fonts under QT4 look nicer btw., that can be seen in Skype for exmaple.
@wegface: some features are coming in Beta 2 like the new panel and some with KDE 4.1. |

| in this context I'd like to point out an interesting posting in the KDE developers' journal:
Disambiguation "KDE 4", did you mean "KDE 4.0"? wrote:
There will be users (and young editors) who don't understand the difference of KDE 4 and KDE 4.0 and will call KDE 4.0 incomplete or a disappointment.(...)Can you remember when kparts and KIO slaves became essential in your daily work (eg fish slave creation)? It weren't the x.0 releases introducing them. Also KDE 4.0 will not contain all or the complete imminent frameworks of "KDE 4".

| So then KDE 4 will be a continuously evolving work. 4.0 would be the starting point and 4.1 could add some new features and fix any bugs. |
