drake 7.0 vrs drake 7.2

[crgordon]

I had drake 7.0, bought 7.2 and installed it.
Does 7.2's kde not have the theme manager?
It has kde 2.0 but I cant seem to find the themes. any ideas? :p

KDE 2.0 doesn't have theme support. I think it will in 2.1 tho.

I'm looking to redo my 7.0 system with 7.2 how has your system worked. Have you noticed much of an improvement and what drawbacks do you see? Gonna backup and wipe my system tonight. :)

Pluses of `Drake 7.2
1 - Easy to config and install
2 - Stable so long as you don't plan on upgrading.
3 - Easy to use for any skill level.

Minus's of `Drake 7.2
1 - Can't do major upgrades to libs without wiping half your system.
2 - Most software installed either, works or as most often is the case, installs but doesn't work, Quick Time, MPEG, Real Player 8, Evoloution, Ximian... just to name a few,
3 - Installs / upgrades to existing software either destroys the application or nothing happens.
4 - Massive issues with dependancy's!!!
5 - RPM suck donkey balls! Period.

Bottom line save yourself the hassle and use either Debian or Slack. I will be installing Debian here really soon. Mandrake has pissed me off for the last time. It sucks ***! To much like windows now in that if you really use it, it chokes as a desktop.

Debian / Slackware.... :D
