Beware KDE 4.1.96. Kubuntu Intrepid is still 4.1, but there are
instructions on its site for adding a PPA repository which is supposed
to give you 4.2. I have it running on a box I use for testing stuff.
It really installs 4.1.96. This version is much more stable than the
official 4.1, but still suffers major problems. It will not run kmail
for more than a few seconds. For me, that renders it useless.
I understand from users of Mandravia and Fedora that they had the same
problems with 4.1.96, so they are upstream and not distro-specific.
However, the newest versions of those distros have the real 4.2, and I
understand the kmail/kontact problem is fixed.
That said, it seems to be less broken than 4.1.
I'd still say stick with 3.5 or gnome for a while if you need things to
work.
