Around 3 weeks ago, I downloaded the 2nd beta of KDE 3.2 from their FTP site. I've been using this release every day since then. The purpose of my writing this piece is not to highlight KDE 3.2's new features and applications - read the Changelog at KDE's site for that - but to give you a complete picture of how it measures up to its previous versions in terms of everyday use. Does it make me more productive? Is the command line more efficient yet? Or, even better, does it make me use the command line more effectively? Read on...

Good point, I had 128MB SDRAM, and ran win98 just fine, I doubt many people would like to run XP on less than say 500MHz, it should bog down the system running just a couple of apps simultainously..
My point was that while XP is snappy mdk9/KDE3.0 runs rather slow on my 800MHz with 512 ram, thus if KDE3.2 runs ok on his setup the performance increase in KDE3.2 has to be very impressive? I also want to point out that "acceptable performance" varies from person to person, for me doing stuff like browsing files has to be snappy as in XP, not SLOW like in KDE3.0.
