Naturally, his first piece focuses on KDE 3.3 and its implications for Linux on the desktop."

    Don't get me wrong, I love KDE. But 3.3 has been pretty much a buggy experience for me. I realize it's bound to be unstable, but as far as I can see KDE is focusing more on releasing new releases, rather than fixing boring old bugs!

    Have a look at ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org

    It works with yum and also covers a range of redhat/fedora versions. You'll find KDE 3.3 in testing. You will also likely have to remove a number of packages to get it all working though.
