Re: kde4 bin packages

[Cem Kayali <cemkayali%eticaret.com.tr@localhost>]

Well, i can do the same, but the problem is that... as long as no binary 
packages available for kde4, very few people can compile and test it... 
So, my plan is once NetBSD5 is released, i will compile and place bin 
packages on a server, so that test phase will be shortened -hopefully.

Today, i have just installed FreeBSD 7.1 and added Kde4 to check its 
performance, usability on a nix machine and really disappointed... Good 
looking but it was as if i'm using a Vista, bad performance! I think it 
has been optimised for Linux machines because Suse performance is much 
better.

Thanks.
Cem
