I just upgraded to kde 3.4.1 and I must say I'm pretty impressed . All my previous kde applications still work great.
How many of you upgraded to kde 3.4.1? what are you impressions on the development of kde?

sudo echo deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.4.1/kubuntu hoary-updates main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I upgraded. Not really impressed. I didn't notice any performance boost (wich is what's most important to me). It's already removed here..

I did find a slight speed improvment and it feels a bit more stable. The crashes I was having in kmail are no more.

I upgraded, and 3.4.1 fixed the most annoying bug for me: dropboxes didn't work with KHTML. As far as speed goes, it might be a bit faster -- but I can't make a fair comparison, since 3.4.0 was built by gcc3 and 3.4.1 was built by gcc4 (using breezy).

What kind of hardware do you have? KDE 3.x has always been fast enough for me on my now-old P4 2.53 (533Mhz FSB, 32-bit, no hyperthreading).

It's fast enough. No speed improvements. Plus, it could be 100mhz, and if it was any faster, i'd notice.

How do you install it in AMD64 form because that like above about deb http://... is binary-i386 form not the AMD64 form?

Thanks

I'm on an old 1.3 Ghz Celeron with 384MB. For some reason, it does feel a bit faster although it seems to drain more memory than 3.4.0
But I have one question, I'm getting a cannot talk to klauncher messege when I log out. What does that mean?

I upgraded and haven't noticed much of a difference, but it's still running great!
