Well ok, I should have said a mix. That's what I voted for.
I don't plan to use any more stuff from -current unless something breaks..

I followed you instructions and I am now running KDE-4.3.3.
Thank you.
Alas, even in 4.4.3 Konqueror is still unusable. |

Answered "current", since that is what I use most of the time for daily work.
My server runs stable though, as my wife's machine (she doesn't like surprises), and I have VMs with "clean" -stable 32 & 64 Slackware for testing things.

No vote for 'other' so I didn't vote.
I run 11.0 for 2.4 kernels on antiques, and 11.0 for old laptop that needs rc.pcmcia to work (I can't get pcmcia on 12.1/2 to work, haven't tried 13.0 yet)
12.1 is my main desktop's tho, more software, gnome and works well for old intel's, and radeon r300 cards (with binary blob ati driver for 2.6.27 stable series kernel
Running current on one netbook and one desktop. So far so good.
