Check out the Slackware (http://www.slackware.com/) website for more info.:guitar:

Wow... I may have to play with that (I just installed Slack again :))

i just installed it and yea it looks great but it's still buggy as all get out. Widgets randomly disappearing or the System tray is just one big black box on my panel. I'm going back to using Openbox again, has anybody else used it yet and what do you think?

I won't be happy with KDE4 until 4.3 is released.

I'll have to give that a try.

I probably won't be happy with KDE 4. Ever. The devs have taken that project in a direction to which I am fundamentally opposed.

KDE 4 is still a work in progress. The KDE team are gaining ground much faster this time around compared to what they did with the 3.x series. I can recall refusing to touch KDE until ~3.5.4. Partly personal, party because previous versions where vastly unstable.

I have tried KDE 4 on Slackware-current after each time Pat bumps the version. The stability and actuall usability between each is dramtic. It's not there yet, but it is getting closer.

Fluxbox has been what I've been using most often. With a mix of XFCE and other GTK support apps.

+1. Xfce is great, as are many other KDE alternatives.

To me, that indicates a poor design process by the KDE team. If someone releases a product and calls it X.0, then it should be ready for production use. Releasing alpha quality software as a final product is not something that flies easily in other places, especially in the business world.

X.0 in kde is alpha
The major number is the version of QT it's based on.
so 4.0 is really 0.0 using version 4 of QT.
