How to run kde3 on intrepid

[Timothy Webster]

Intrepid getting flak for not including kde3
When kde4 is ready and is configured with kde3 compatibility it is time.
kubuntu intrepid should have combined kde3/kde4
It takes a couple years for people to migrate to a new user interface. ubuntu needs to understand this and let people take their sweat time learning the new interface. And you are not going to get the bugs out until more than just developers use the interface. kde4 is NOT ready and users are not ready for kde4

I will give these a shot this weekend, but I am play with production machines. So I won't do a massive migrate for a while. debian may be the way to go for the next upgrade. And with debian I can just stay with testing "continue upgrading" for desktops and this semi-annal upgrade nightmare will hopefully end. 

Because of this kde problem I will definitively not upgrading any of my desktops to intrepid until the new year. Will use the holidays to decide the future of this deployment.
