As others have said before, it's like comparing Apples versus Oranges. I have found KDE-2.2.2 to be extremely stable. I've never had it crash on me. I did try out KDE-3.0.0 this weekend, and kicker (the panel) did lock up on me twice. I don't know if this was KDE's fault, or if I didn't have it installed right. This was under Slackware using prebuilt packages. I don't trust prebuilt packages, as I never seem to have exactly the same hardware and installed libraries as the guy building the package :-) I'm waiting for the FreeBSD port before I try KDE3 on FreeBSD. Remember the old saying, "never trust a x.0 release". In other words, if the software version ends in a '0', it's likely to be a wee bit unstable. If you are using KDE-3.0.0, I would suggest you stick with KDE-2.2.2 until KDE-3.0.1 comes out. And as for the OS, I have never had FreeBSD crash on me. I did have Slackware crash on me *once*, but that was my own damn fault for mucking about in source code I didn't know anything about.
