Compiling KDE
I should have gone for a quad-processor machine with a really, really, really fast raid cabinet... On my almost-new laptop -- a Dell Inspiron 5150 I have blogged about before, compiling all of KDE, excluding KOffice, takes a whole day. That's not something to do daily, and I haven't even checked whether this morning's CVS actually works. Still, I now know that this laptop has a pretty good fan, it's managed to keep the processor running fast and hard from ten o'clock in the morning until right now...
But in the end -- this version of KDE runs much, much faster and snappier than 3.2.3 from SuSE's apt repositories. The difference in responsiveness, especially in Konqueror is unbelievable.
