Thanks Ted and Jon,

Can you recommend a newbie oriented KDE distribution so I can go  
'fishing' myself. Here are the distros "officially" supported by my  
virtualization software though I don't think that matters much:

Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 5, 4, 3
Red Hat® Linux 9, 8, 7.3
Debian® Linux 4.0, 3.1
FedoraTM Core Linux 6, 5, 4, 3
SUSE® Linux 10.2, 10.1, 10.0, 9.3, 9.2, 9.1, 9.0
MandrakeTM Linux 10.1, 10, 9.2
Mandriva Linux 2007
Ubuntu® Linux 7.04, 6.10, 6.06, 5.04
Xandros Busines 4.0
CentOS 5
