    Hi,

    2008 m. April 23 d., Wednesday, Carlos Alvarez rašė:
    > Kontact 4.0.70

    Alpha1 is planned for this one (this week) (in external repo probably).

    > K3B 1.95

    how usable is it?

    > Amarok 2 Alpha

    oh, there is no Amarok2 *Alpha*. And current snapshot depends on taglib 1.5
    which is not in Debian unstable/experimenal just yet, but probably will be
    soon. In other words, you should see Amarok 2 in experimental when official
    Amarok 2 Alpha1 (or Beta or whatever the next release is called) is released.

    Hold on, I have K3B on my Etch system. SuSE combined various
    items and called it Kontact. Similarly to Kinternet is also a SuSE
    thing. As far as a music player is concerned I prefer XMMS over
    Amarok. The lack of it in SuSE 10.3 is one of many thing I found
    disappointing that version when I made the move to it.

    If you downloaded only one of the disks and installed from that
    this may be why you are lacking certain items. You can either
    go to the debian site of search for your favorite packages there:

    http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

    or download the other 2 (DVDs) and have the system include
    those so you can have the whole distro available to you.

    If you are using SuSE 10.1 of later try giving a Debian a chance.
    I made the move after loading SuSE 10.3. I find Debian to be a
    nicely put together system. (Much better than SuSE 10.3)

    Hope this helps in some way.

    Yes. but that's not the kde4 version. k3b 1.9x are for kde4.

    No. Kontact is a kde thing. not a suse thing.

    Pardon the off topic post but I do run KDE under Debian unstable.

    I filed a bug against audacious as I can't get it to avoid skipping
    under load. xmms correctly configured will avoid skipping except under
    the most extreme load conditions (manually built under Debian unstable,
    PII-266 / 256 MiB RAM).

    Any suggestions for an "officially" supported audio player that won't
    skip under load on Debian unstable / KDE?

    Arthur.
