Whoo!

But it seems to be Gnome and Debian leaning...

But whoo!!!


Debian easily allows the install of KDE under alternative desktops in the boot setup menu instead of the default Gnome 3. Also recommend using at least Debian Testing repositories if you want things to be relatively new.

Debian testing is frozen with KDE 4.8.4 and it's very stable (more so than recent Kubuntu releases, imo).

Adventurers can always use the siduction's kdenext repo, which is at 4.9.5 atm. I'm sure 4.10 will be released there soon.

"deb http://packages.siduction.org/kdenext unstable main"


KDE 4.9.5 it's already packaged in Debian, see: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2013/01/msg00060.html, although those packages are targeted to sid, it works with testing after pulling a couple libs of sid.
