Thank you. Linux Mint seems to use the Ubuntu repos, so I will have to
research whether or not it uses KDE 4.0. I'll also look at openSUSE
and possibly Fedora (which I run on other machines).

I should mention here that I really, really like Fedora, but I do not
use it as I find it too bleeding edge (read: unstable) for everyday
use. So it would be ironic that I go back to Fedora as a daily driver
due to Kubuntu getting too cutting edge.
