Kaddressbook is in Fedora 9 and it is still the same old 3.5.9 version that has been around and it hasn't been updated to KDE-4 yet. The entire suite of KDE-PIM applications are still 3.5.x The issues of KDE-4 are the ones that we have been talking about - user space and the Desktop and they are mostly marginal and Fedora 9/KDE-4 are indeed usable. Nothing wrong at all with CentOS-5 or RHEL-5. I"m just saying if you are driving your decision based on whether you can use Kaddressbook on Fedora 9, then there's no reason to go to CentOS Craig -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
