In openSUSE, KDE3 remains available, though a little lighter for having lost most maintainers and a few packages. TDE, the KDE3 fork, hasn't lost any of what made KDE3 nice and stable, while acquiring a few improvements to match morphing technology, keeping stability, avoiding useless bloat, and not dumbing down its UI. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
