The two reasons are update and optimization. I'd like to have KDE 3.5,
and want to compile it for my CPU, as it is said to produce noteable
difference. There's a 3.5 update published on the Kubuntu site
somewhere (the link points to Jonathan Riddell's home dir), but I had
some minor issues with that (a small kicker UI refresh problem, and
changes to some kcontrol settings don't work).<br>
<br>
But your suggestion is indeed a good one... I'll just need to find some 3.5 source packages, then.<br>
