what is hardware config required to run kde 4.2

[Sharique Ahmed Farooqui]

512 ram with 3d card. for special effects like compiz, 1Gb recommended.

Any dual is suitable.

I think it's much better then win 7 .. I'm with kde4.2 right now and it's just amazing.. (Btw after gde that's just like a new OS .. it's really cool and I love it.. now I think KDE 4.1 sux! c(: )

For all those who were unimpressed with KDE 4, you need to think of it as a new Window manager completely. KDE 3.5.11 is perfect in every way. I think the name should be changed from KDE 4 to Plasma 1. The entire code-base is new so a name change could have stopped a lot of confusion here. Beautiful thing Open Source, KDE 3.5.11 lives on and a lot of distributions support it completely. Plasma is brand new, but in it's infancy. I could see this taking off if only they worked on stability...

4.2 is far better, and works very well. By the way M$ is is famous for copying ideas from others OSes and s/w, kde4 is just one of them

[Sharique Ahmed Farooqui]

It will take time, you must post bugs and patches. So that it can improve faster.

Plasma is still choppy as hell. It really irritates me and I'm afraid of using it. And don't even get me started on the scrolling...

Aaron Seigo doesn't have KOffice 2 installed? Heresy!
