Thanks for the info KT,
I upgraded my KDE net-book to the beta release using the local
repository. I had no hassle. I did it in the evening on my home UHF and
generally downloaded just under 200kb. The only issues I have had, and
reported as bugs:
1. Evolution crashes when you try to close it.
2. Need to close and reopen skype when the machine wakes up from sleep.
