Well that is just one address, I can point you to: http://kde.tdyc.com/ Here you will find a guide, where to find what you need (please go there :-), it has all the required settings. (for the /etc/apt/sources.list) (This list will be looked up by apt-get and dselect to see where they can get the packages from) By the way: [email protected] is the right place to post kde-question to. > > The Debian people did not want to make KDE packages so far.

It has to do with the debian policy, that only security upgrades are done during a stable release. (Potato being the stablke release) Of course, unstable has many of the nice KDE-packages. (But these will not suite a stable system). Just before Potato was released or shortly after, the QT-license changed to GPL or QPL, thus being able to include in the debian system. That is why there is a page that offers "homebrew" packages (no - they are only backports of the packages in unstable) I would guess, the next release may contain KDE (the next big release).
