I really don't get the problem here. Unless I am missing something. I've installed \
Fedora 9, 10 and 11 numerous times on many different machines (mostly x84_64). \
Fedora 9 was sort of a mess for the first couple of months, until KDE 4 stabilized \
around 4.1.
However, in ALL cases Quanta has been, and still is, working as great as it has for \
years. I couldn't work without it. That and Eclipse. All it required me to do was \
select the kdewebdev package when installing. All of the required KDE 3 libs and any \
other dependencies were installed automatically, every time.
I happen to love KDE 4 (especially since 4.3 delivered) and I cannot get what could \
be missing that would make it unusable. And it just keeps getting better.
I am looking forward to trying a new Quanta that will take full advantage to KDE 4, \
but in the mean time it is serving us very well.
Regards,
Emmett
