    I keep this in my /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://kde.tdyc.com potato main crypto optional

    Very easy to install.

    Overall, I prefer IceWM. Screw the fancy desktops. However, I want
korganizer at work, and it's annoying outside of KDE. I'm finding that after
using Ximian Gnome for months, KDE 2.1 is lighter, faster and more stable. So,
I'll hang on the KDE coattails for a while, regardless of the gobs of money
Sun and HP are throwing at Miguel and his cadre.
