YesI think so too, but personally I would not want to miss KDE 3.3 as there
are quite a few changes that are very important to me personally - with sarge
I'd be using backports the next 2 years or so I feel.
Don't want to leave the impression Sarge is bad, it just doesn't fullfill all
my personal requirements - and since I'll be maintaining other systems I'd
like to have them use something that resembles my own working environment in
6 month or so from now, too.
I figure those are pretty weak points and I can't make it really clear right
now, but my main motivation for "something else than stable" seems to be much
like the original motivation of a special "desktop" tree of debian.
I'll be setting up the system for my girlfriend this weekend and guess I'll be
using SimplyMEPIS 2004.02 for now - I prefer Munjoy myself (and would prefer
DDD I guess).

Thanks, I did not know the first CD included KDE - could have checked that
myself though - sorry for that :-/
