Problem about staying on taskbar

It depends... I used to use Fedora because it was the only distro that managed to get every piece of hardware working on my 6 years old box (HP printer, Nvidia GF2MX, Wifi card with only ndiswrapper working, ...). However I finally found Frugalware (which is ,or used to be, based on Slackware) and I'm quite happy with it

Nowadays mostly all hardware is supported and works very well, especially if you use vendor drivers.

Suse is heavy and the default GUI themes are crappy... I've tested about 20 distros in a year and, apart from the two mentioned above only Pardus and Mepis someway satisfied me (but not enough to keep them obviously... )

You can always drop the themes and use a default KDE installation.
Anyway, I don't really like updaters. It is better to compile almost everything locally.

Gimme your PC!!! No really... one can afford the niceties offered by a source-only distro if and only if he has an extremely powerful PC. I once tried to install Gentoo and went mad compiling a whole KDE desktop, and then firefox. I just managed to log graphically (after days of compilation ) to find out that I needed even more compilation to have an usable system so I just dropped it.

It's not much of a PC, really...
Compiling Qt 4.3 takes about 2 hours and KDE takes about 3-4 hours( never had the patience to stay in front of it ).

I never tried compiling Firefox though. .

What computer do you have? A 486(DX ) or something?
Never took that long to get KDE up and running.

Athlon 1.4Ghz with 512Mb SDRAM and 40Gb HDD (no SATA)

I think that small memory is causing the long compile times.
The processor is good enough.

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Your IDE is one of the most complex/useful applications in there.
You could win.
