KDE "Stephan Binner, a well-known KDE and openSUSE developer, has released a set of live CDs featuring the latest development snapshot of KDE 4 (screenshots). Unlike the SLAX-based live CD called KLAX, which he used to develop in order to demonstrate new KDE releases, his 'KDE Four Live' images are based on openSUSE. After a large, uncompressed live DVD released earlier in the week, a set of smaller live CDs (compressed with Squashfs) is now also available for download. Don't expect trouble-free computing with these early KDE 4 snapshots, but as demonstration tools designed to give KDE users an early taste of things to come, they aren't too bad. The first alpha build of KDE 4 is scheduled for release early next week."

I use GNUstep. The UI behavior is what I miss from Openstep that neither GNUstep [mainly due to its lack of maturity as a complete DE] nor Gnome or KDE possess.

My primary DE for Debian Linux is KDE 3.5.6.

Criticizing it for not capitalizing on being a more intuitive and efficient environment isn't to take away from what it offers. Since KDE prides itself on customizing itself to death [GNOME thinks it does] it would be nice if it had an option to customize how the menuing system works, other than the boring Mac OS of old layout.
