It's getting there - two days in and I had a working desktop though I 
haven't finished all the installation yet. I already had QT installed - that 
was about nine hours on its own...

I don't know how fast this will be yet - it's hard to tell when the machine 
is still trying to compile in another session!

2.0 didn't appear till either 7.2 or 8.0; 1.2 was the M7.1 offering. It's 
not bad, but a lot of modern stuff needs later libraries.

I don't think you'll have a problem...Anita is quite happy with 
mandrake/kde2

Don't suppose you're in London on 9th or 15th december?
