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