The following Slackware derived distros with available KDE are still active. I haven't used them in a while (I always go back to the pure source), but they track the Slackware core pretty closely while adding ease of use features. Most Slackware derivatives are tweaked, "trimmed down" to reduce memory and hard drive space. Zenwalk: http://zenwalk.org/ XFCE is the default, with KDE available via their package manager. Binary compatible with may other Slackware package sources. Salix: https://www.salixos.org/ XFCE is the default, with KDE available via their package manager. Binary compatible with may other Slackware package sources. Porteus: http://www.porteus.org/ Started out as a community remix of SLAX. Packages consist of modules and can be installed and run from USB flash drive, flash card or CD (live distro) or hard drive. There are utilities to convert Slackware packages into installable modules. It is designed to be portable. They do recommend Slackware if you want to install a full uncompressed version to an internal hard drive.
