So get some CD's!
by Otter on Wednesday 05/Sep/2001, @15:00

First of all, I've expressed some skepticism in the past of whether the KDE League is doing anything useful. I'm happy to see that I was wrong and it sounds like they contributed a lot here, with financing and the PR. One suggestion, though:

>>>Some other frequently heard requests were for CD's with KDE installed...it should also be mentioned that most Linux distributions ship with KDE, many of which have it as the preferred or default desktop environment.<<<

If people are asking for CDs, next time make sure to give them CDs!

Actually, there was a discussion about this at one point on the promo list.... It's not really feasible... You can only fit 1 or 2 Distros per CD(I don't know the size of the current tree off-hand...) So it would be rather expensive.......

A "standard" installation of KDE ?

It is a bad thing that each distro installs KDE in a non standard way. Because this standard does not exist...
It would be good that the KDE team deliver some install recommandations so that KDE would be installed in a "standard" way... No ?

An other davantage would be that a KDE user would change its distro and keep its KDE config...

The main problem is not the standard installation, but the different versions of libraries and compilers used be the different distros.

Better idea is to put them at the local libraries so they can check them out.
