Great suggestion! Where do I find it?
#apt-cache show kde
# apt-get -s install kde
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package kde has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E: Package kde has no installation candidate
#
What is the name of the KDE metapackage, and how does one install it?

Which packages does one pull from Non-US to get SSL and other
crypto stuff working?
What command asks the system what SSL related packages are currently
installed on the system?
Thanks for mentioning IRC. Since you brought it up, what is the best
program to access IRC when using KDE?
