Thanks for the reply.

While I'm new to Debian, I'm not new to Linux. I like to stay more up-to-date 
on my machine than Woody is, and made the (apparently incorrect)  assumption 
that the testing version would be a good compromise between Woody and the 
unstable version.

The wiki implied that apt-get install kde *SHOULD* have worked, but apparently 
it doesn't under Sarge.

I'll reload it with SuSE 9.0. That will work for me. I wanted to try out 
Debian - which looks very good BTW - but it sounds like it won't meet my 
needs.

Thanks again for the info
