Slashdot's Disagree Mail 489

I am responsible for reading most of the help requests sent to Slashdot. Most of the mail I get in a day is what you would expect, comments and concerns about postings, user accounts and Slashdot itself. There are a very special group however that get passed around the office due to the inordinate level of anger, lack of understanding and just plain weirdness they possess. Through the years I've collected many and still get such gems on a regular basis. We thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite rants, ramblings and ruminations with the rest of you. I give to you the first of many installments of Slashdot's disagree mail. The names have been changed to protect the idiot — hit the link below to drink it in.

Personally I'm extremely disappointed that the still are stuck on KDE 3.4 WTF is up with that? They claim 3.5 isn't stable yet. What are they smoking? I've been using KDE 3.5 on my Suse since last year. Come on Gentoo, get with the program!

I have been using KDE 3.5 on my box (gentoo of course) since it came out, and it seems to me to be quite stable now, but the ebuild maintainers for KDE are waiting. Who can blame them. KDE is very large by anyone's standard, and can hardly be said that all the bugs are ironed out. The larger it is the longer it will take to test it's stability. Unlike other distros gentoo allows a user to install any major or point release, at any time and with easy transitions. When I used other distros it was a nightmare to upgrade KDE on my own schedule, so I would wait for the next release of the distro. Most other distros are forced to put unstable packages into their distro because of this lack of flexibility in package managment. I will not impose my lower standards on someone who wants a unbreakably stable setup. Besides with /etc/portage/package.keywords it is quite easy to install these "unstable" versions.
