I use Debian stable, and know it and the tools very well. Knowing the

That said, one interesting OS I am testing is Open Indiana, one of the
successors to Open Solaris. The default DE is Gnome2, but kde3.5.10 is
available.
I would test OpenBSD and TDE when available.
Its about the apps not the desktop :-)

Another way to go is Gentoo, though it takes some work and close

others have had with it.

FreeBSD sounds like a possibility (and no
systemd). Thinking of
installing to see about running TDE in it. But its boot image
requires a MBR primary or GUID partition. So I would have to back
up my disk in order to convert to GUID partitioning...one thing
leads to another...will consider it...Robert
I'm already evaluating FreeBSD for my desktop. As far as I've come
it's working at least as good as wheezy on older laptops (T60 / T61
/ X60 - I don't have newer). At the moment I have XFCE and FVWM
running, but it's definitly missing a good file manager like
konqueror.
I'm verry happy that François and Slávek put effort in getting TDE
working on OpenBSD, so chances are I'll escape systemd :-)
