Novell and Ximian Rumors circulating that Novell is going to kill off its popular Linux desktop lines are completely false. [However,] Novell is making one large strategic change. The GNOME interface is going to become the default interface on both the SLES and Novell Linux Desktop line. KDE libraries will be supplied on both, but the bulk of Novell's interface moving forward will be on GNOME. "The entire KDE graphical interface and product family will continue to be supported and delivered on OpenSuSE."

Well thanks for the recommendation. Its a known fact that on an x86 architecture with few extra optimizations using -O2 is stable.

I would try it out......but its 2 time consuming to recompile kde packages all over again using different optimizations (unless i can obtain some binary packages compiled like that). Im sure that nothing different will happen. And im pretty sure that a good deal of the crashing problems that happened in kde 3.4 were resolved in kde 3.4.1 or kde 3.4.2.

Anyways does anyone in fact know if slackware compiles it packages with -O2 optimizations. Since its focused on stability and security, it might already use -O0 but its running -O2 max. Yes I will accept that -O3 is a lil questionable and anything more than that is nuts. But not really -O2. But i guess thats for another discussion.
