Thanks, Ron. I don't see the contradiction: I want released software,
no betas or alphas. I am using the word stable as in not crashy

Thank You for Your time and answer, Liam:
Or you could wait for the next stable release, or at least for the

Will it be 4.4 version of KDE in next release? - I thought, 4.3 - that is in

Unfortunately, the goals of always having the latest KDE and a stable distro
are not compatible.
Not necessarily. KDE has a regular release schedule, with a point
release about once a month. I would consider a distro that included
the latest point releases stable in the sense of no (or few)

Yes, there is a lot of favour towards Mandriva and Suse. Kubuntu with

Fedora 12 has KDE 4.4 and it's in a pretty stable shape. Also, it's
officially supported,
as opposed to OpenSUSE.
I used Fedora from Core 3 to 6. It got very unstable at that point, FC
6, 7, and 8 were breaking critical packages almost monthly. I am
