&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; files work well for me &lt;<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/";>http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/</a>&gt;.  They are
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in the testing tiectories, but have been quite stable for me.  And they
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; supply rpms for everything since 7.3, which is pretty cool.
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; This new release offers the best desktop environment I've used on any
&gt; &gt; &gt; platform. The biggest problem with KDE at the moment is trying to unpack
&gt; &gt; &gt; everything it can do. I can do 90% of what I do on the computer either in
&gt; &gt; &gt; Kontact or Konqueror. Konqueror has been vastly improved by the Safari
&gt; &gt; &gt; development effort. If it weren't for some Javascript weirdness in it, I
&gt; &gt; &gt; would even trash Mozilla. The interactive spell-checking is something no
&gt; &gt; &gt; other desktop offers. It's great to have spell-checking when you're
&gt; &gt; &gt; filling in forms on Web sites--especially if you're applying for a job!
&gt; &gt; &gt; Plus, I got a Google search bar in Konqueror now that I got from a CVS
&gt; &gt; &gt; version. And KDE is faster than it used to be too. The Linux experience
&gt; &gt; &gt; has never been better for me. And if you don't have Amarok, get it. It's
&gt; &gt; &gt; one of the best mp3 players around. It made me dump Xmms.
