phew! I was going to ask what people were still using 6,2 for
I still think that you will be fine with 2,2. You could try downloading KDE 3.0, but I would install it alongside KDE 2.2, in case something goes wrong.

is there a newbie site .. how to install it
the safe way
i only using linux 2 learn how it works .. understand it
so i will like 2 install it .. thats only way i will learn
Newbie tips? Go for RPMs. If possible, get the RPMs for Mandrake 8.x.
If only source is available, it is possible but slightly difficult.

Most people won't be needing the development files. you'll be able to tell which ones they are by them being the normal package that you'll need then -devel
so you wouldnt necessarily need a file like kde3-devel-3.0-mdk.i5586.rpm but you'd want kde3-3.0.mdk.rpm to install kde3...

you can run the a package manager which will let you uninstall packages, you could use something like gnorpm, or some other one, there are some more under configuration>packages or software i think... i can't remember exactly what it is... as i just hosed my system, partially. KDE3 will replace KDE2.2 when you install it, and you wont see an option to select it (KDE2.2), so once you have kde3 running you could also uninstall the kde2.2 packages... i think... you will need to logout/restartx to use kde3 though

agreed. but there are some things i like about regular gnome better too, like automount of cds, and how audio files will auto preview if you put the mouse over them. ximian doesn't do that.

that'd be it
even if you get kde working, i recdommend downloading ximian to see if that gives you a better liking of gnome. i prefer regular gnome anyways, but ximian makes it more pretty and adds some phat features, especially their redcarpet auto-download/update tool and their evolution email/calendar/scheduling proggy...very cool

evolution is pretty good...i preferred Gnome to KDE because for some reason KDE would not allow me to run Folding....i dont know why....

mandrake 8.2 is fairly new, so ximian might not have released a gnome upgrade for it yet...so wait a while and they might.
