Hello Matthias,

Yes KDE3 and Firefox 3.6 etc. It took a great deal of time until KDE4 
became usaable and I usually installed both to have everything work. The 
probelem then is that old releases are less supported.

But I still run a FVWM in a screen just to get a window manager so I 
definitely see your point. :-)

Regards,

Daniel
