In Mandrake Kde depends on GTK? i don't know i haven't installed
Kde/gnome for a longtime now...

Ofcourse i hope Slackware works out for you. i couldn't lay my hands
on a recent slackware release so switched to Debian out of necessity and since i don't
need any bleeding edge stuff (like kde in your case) i am pretty okay

mandrake was winding up. Slackware have only one cd available for dl.
And about FreeBSD, hush i won't say much about it. i got an offlist
message telling me it was OT here :)
