Knoppix boots up into KDE, and they have a DVD version. Besides being a live disc, it's easily installable onto your hard disk. IIRC the Mandriva 2007 I use defaults to KDE and has lots and lots of KDE programs (I'm writing this on kmail), but my hatred of KDE is so profound that my first step was to switch to IceWM, and my second step was to find non-KDE substitutes for as many KDE programs as I could. It's my fervent hope that LyX never becomes a KDE program. Qt is OK, but IMHO KDE programs have too many needless interactions with other programs (like dcop server, gimme a break), needlessly causing crashiness and other problems.
