I have a couple of other friends using PClinuxOS installed from the live
CD and so far neither have mentioned that they have had any problems.
Actually that not quite true, one mentioned that his printer, a DeskJet
720 does'nt print, but that I suspect is a cups problem.
As I say, I am running Debian Squeeze. 2 instances of
3.5.13
(clients) and 2 of 3.5.13.2 (here at home). So far, I am very
pleased with it.
Good ! I'm glad that you are pleased with TDE. A lot of people have
put a great deal of hard work into it.
One of the two clients had never used Linux before.
So far, after
about six months, she has hit one problem only - but it was just a
setting that she couldn't find, although it was there and I was able
to set it for her.
Alexandre's live CD is not "official" yet. Perhaps you are using
facilities that Alexandre does not use, so has not polished. It is a
marvellous facility to have given the community, but it is not fair
to use it to say that TDE is never stable on anything.
Note: I did say "My installation" ! Your comment is misleading and
implies something that was not said...
My comments were simply based on my experience having, up to now, stuck
with Open SuSE 11.1 and wanting to use a couple of applications that
wouldn't run on it but do run quite satisfactorily on PClinuxOS.
I never saw any of the issues that I have reported whilst running Open
SuSE. In fact I don't see any lockups running the PClinuxOS live CD.
Thanks to another user who kindly pointed out a setting in Kmail I think
the issue with replies ending up in the wrong folder is down to me not
knowing what setting and where to look for it.
Ubuntu and Debian appear to be the best supported
(impression, not
detailed analysis). Have you tried either of those? It sounds as
though Wheezy and TDE is still not stable, so you would get better
stability by sticking to Squeeze, though I advise using Slávek's
repositories. Mutatis mutandis, I am sure that the same applies to
Ubuntu (Kubuntu), but I am not up on that, so cannot express an
opinion on which version is the best compromise between stable and
up-to-date.

The other distributions you mention I've only tried the live CD's.
