    >>> I have to say I'm psyched! And I just can't wait for 2005 to come around, when I can pull them out of debian stable. ;)

    what about pulling it right now?

    just use unstable as i do... if you want debian as a desktop unstable is a very good choice, don't think this unstable would actually mean unstable in the commen sense.

    in fact, it is even considered to be more stable that testing by many people (not all people, no flaimbait please) :)

    If you are using Redhat and love KDE, I would highly suggest checking out the KDE-Redhat project on SourceForge. Rex and his group have done an excellent job of building & optimizing the KDE packages for Redhat versions and, if you are using apt-rpm, it's fairly easy to keep up-to-date with their builds.

    Cheers!
