Maybe so, but in general, Sid _does_ work out of the box, so I wouldn't advocate ditching it quite so fast. Anybody who's willing to go to the trouble of following the mailing list, searching the archives, and adding Ralf's KDE packages to his sources.list sounds like a good candidate for running Sid (and giving useful feedback when things don't work). I think the problem is that KDE just isn't quite "there" yet in Debian, and these are the growing pains that we should expect in these early days. It would be useful to know what the current problems are, in case someone else has the time/expertise to look into them. Bjorn
