KDE 4.x


I have been reading about KDE4.1 recently and want to give it a try. Is there somewhere I can see what distros are bundled with KDE4.0 or 4.1 so I can download them & take a look? Maybe some of you who have already played with it can tell which distros are using it.

Thanks
Wayne

Your best bet is probably to get a live CD first. http://home.kde.org/~binner/kde-four-live/
Various distros have 4.1 packages available, see http://www.kde.org/info/4.1.0.php for details.

Don't bother with 4.0.

Yes I'd agree with this. For future reference, please give explanations with statements like this; it doesn't help without knowing facts.

KDE 4.0 was meant as a developer's release despite being stable. KDE 4.1 advertises greater stability for more than just developers yet still gets criticism.
