I have heard the word 'polished' before, but I honestly don't know what it
means when referring to distros. I think it might me guified.

Anyway, debian _does_ have kde3, it's not going into woody, though, as
kde3 is bleeding edge


---fwd---


deb http://kde3.geniussystems.net/debian /

apt-get install arts kdelibs kdebase (etc...)

currently you must purge all kde222 debs first (i will fix this for final)
apt-get remove --purge kdelibs3
apt-get remove --purge libarts

NEVER use dpkg --force-* it will most likely permanently break your system
requiring a full reinstall
