Ain't that the truth.

I keep an installation of Mepis 8.0.x up to date and I can tell you that on the same equipment KDE 4 as provided by Mepis 11 is way faster than M8 is. Even M8.5.x is a little faster. That's interesting. I still have Mepis 8 installed, never did try 8.5, and haven't yet tried Mepis 11. But I do have...

Couldn't agree more. Perhaps Brooko is correct in his assessment (in my case that is), but I am not sure what the problem was with the old forum that we were trying to solve.

I appreciate all of the responses in this thread. I decided earlier to hold off on 8.5 and wait for Mepis 10 (or whatever it will be called). I figure that I'll get along okay with KDE 4 but some of the comments here make me happy that I've waited. In any case, I'm likely to install Xfce anyway -- c...
