KDE 2.2

[Alan Dayley]

Wow!

I just upgraded to KDE 2.2 with the commands just as you described.  Again I 
say Wow!

Smooth, slick, faster.  Konqueror really works well.  I have tested several 
sites that used to bomb it.  They work great!  Icons look good!  
Anti-aliasing and other "look and feel" options are very easy to select and 
look very slick!

Excelllent work from the KDE developers!  I am impressed!
