Just installed 4.2 Beta 2, and now I have three KDE's installed on one computer at the same time :shade:

Gentoo rocks!

But KDE1 and KDE2 on there as well, and I'll REALLY be impressed!

That would actually be pretty cool, but it probably won't compile...

Where can you download KDE sources for versions less than 3.5.8, by the way? They're not on the servers anymore.

I haven't used Gentoo in a little while, but it installs different versions to /usr/kde/3.5, /usr/kde/4.1, and so on, right?

Actually installing KDE 1 would be a fun bit of nostalgia from back when Mandriva was Mandrake.

yeah its /usr/kde/${SLOT}

You can get 2.2.2 in Attic. ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Attic/2.2.2/src/ For KDE1, I'm sure you can find it somewhere. Trolltech still has the old Qt versions up on their site as well.

Decided to try it because I was bored today, but I can't get Qt2 to compile, so it does not seem possible not possible. (unless maybe I try gcc 2, but I don't want to)

Yeah, although if you run KDE4 by itself, you can install it directly into /usr, but it won't play nicely with the other versions.

Compiled Qt2

@Alec: Google is your friend

Designer (I did nothing, it looks like that with KWin effects enabled)
http://imagebin.ca/view/Xgfv2O.html

Right now compiling kdelibs

UPDATE: Beaten


UPDATE2: Debian rocks!

Meh. No KDE1 lolz

Nice Anything you like better about 2 than 3 or 4? Or is 2 just too similar to 3 so that any difference is simply a slight improvement?

I was going for it too until I hit some autohell issues that I did not dare to solve.

In my opinion, it is the second. I did not notice any important difference in the workflow between 2.2 and 3.5. I used the 3 series for only three months, though.

EDIT: I think it was in KDE2 that folders had «emblems». I liked that. (Or maybe was it KDE1?)

I don't know about that, but Gnome has emblems (which were killed in the most recent release... they're still there, but many of the actually useful ones are gone) In KDE 4, you can replace an icon with one of several preset icons, which is pretty similar to emblems.

Yes, I know. I have replaced some icons in some folders. And killing the emblems actually encourages me to tweak the default icons with better results
