KDE 3.0 is a major step ahead. Although it appears even more Windowsy, it has 
also gained functionality. Definitely woth upgrading for KDE users.

Other than that, there are several bugfixes (the accumulated up2date fixes).

What's bad is that my older version of VMWare (2.0) no longer runs and no 
longer gets support. With a lot of tricks (and some help) I was able to 
compile it for 7.2, but 7.3 appears to have major obstacles for VMWare's 
kernel modules.
