I find the current stable version to be quite adequate. At any rate, doing an upgrade from kde may be a problem from what I have read on various forums. It seems to depend on the level of expertise and time to do all the dependencies. But, if someone like PLF or ESLRAHC site has them built for Mandrake 10.1 then give it a go.
