Debian potato & KDE
While I've being working with RedHat 7 for 8 months I'm an absolute beginner
with Debian 2.2r2 potato which I'd like to install first on a spare PC just
to have a go at it and then to substitute Debian for RH7 on my PC's in view
of its well known stability and real open source nature (II'm just waiting
for the CD's that I've bought as your site suggests).
Being in love with the KDE desktop I wrote the following message to the KDE
people of www.kde.org and got the following answer.
My question is as simple as that: where can I download KDE files for Debian
potato or what should I do step by step to have it on my PC?
Thanks and ciao
Vittorio

The Debian people did not want to make KDE packages so far. I don't know
exactly why that is, but it might be because they receive financial
contributions from our "competitor", the gnome project. We do not make
binary
packages ourselves (for no distribution), that's up to the distributors.
The best thing you can do is to build and upload Debian packages yourself,
the second best thing is to bugger the Debian people to include KDE.
