As a normal user, I find the discussion a bit confusing. This seems to imply that the fedora RPMS (from the KDE website?) are not optimal. Is this the case, and if so, can't it be fixed?
If you hear from anyone who has evidence of this claim of unoptimized RPMS, I'd love to hear it... Otherwise, it's nothing but pure speculation.
I am not sure. Redhat (either before or after fedora) has alwasy been primarily gnome oriented, with KDE as a second choice desktop environment.
I'd like to thing kde-redhat (http://kde-redhat.sf.net) does a pretty good job.
Suse (and mandrake and many others) have put KDE is their D.E. of choice, which in turn means that more care is being spend on making the rpms better.
I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but have you ever actually *looked* at any of Suse's src.rpms recently? RedHat's packages may not be the best out there, but the Suse ones I've looked at made me feel a lot better about RedHat.
That aside, can we leave these classic "RedHat doesn't care about KDE" arguements alone? If they truly didn't care, KDE wouldn't be in the distro, period.
