Redhat 9 and KDE

[Matthew Carpenter]

You should really check out SuSE if this is your goal.  Most software is
included, including Sylpheed 0.8.10claws72, and almost everyhing you need as a
default install.  Once you install, you can export a package listing and
duplicate that install the next time as well.

SuSE has renewed my hopes in Desktop Linux. 8.2 professional is the best
distro I've seen yet.  If you are interested in the great looking and feeling
KDE, you want SuSE 8.2, which focusses on KDE (whereas RH focusses on Gnome)
and the default SuSE theme is Keramik, which is gorgeous (and doesn't break
KDE like RH does)
