I have tried the ONE-KDE international CD (which is the default AFAIK, as mentioned previously) and it has worked more or less flawlessly on 1/12 cases.
The "orphan" bit IS borked, it suggested to basically uninstall KDE3/4 and most everything else last time I looked.
(Thankfully it isn't automatic)
As to the 2 machines that had issues:
One, an older P3-850, Aladdin 133+ chipset, simply went into a reboot loop loading the kernel.
My main machine, AMD BE2300, NVidia 7050 board, properly detected the video, but did NOT select the NVidia proprietary driver by default, and could not load X11... Quick trip to the command line and use of XFdrake fixed that easily, but only someone who has BTDT would think of it.
2009.0 feels faster than the last releases (Which were very good)
Dolphin cannot seem to run an executable for some reason, nor can you open a shell in the current dir (AFAIK)
Can Konq be made the default file manager somehow?
The only other thing I can think of is having a link to the Plasma webpage or such, explaining the hows/whys of KDE4, I spent some time pushing buttons to figure it out before I did that, cleared up a lot. Quite usable...
Now if I can only get MythTV working properly on 2009.0, I'll gladly change grub and switch the default.
(Still running 2008.0, as I could never quite manage to get MythTV working right under 2008.1)
