indeed... interesting to see how ~25% of those using KDE on gentoo are 
tracking the RCs. probably indicative of the people that gentoo atracts: 
advanced users who like bleeding edge stuff.

also interesting is that ~30% of them don't run KDE or GNOME... i wonder how 
many use a pure CLI env and which WMs are popular among those who do run X.

a sample size of 1000 is quite significant statistically, but the type of 
subjects in the sample is what probably counts here... gentoo isn't a distro 
for newbies, and so most of those people are power users (also indicated by 
the high% of people tracking devel releases). 

just from personal experience with people i know who run gentoo i'd say that 
the average gentoo user tends to be an above average power user.
