Hi Rich,
the best place to go looking for KDE .debs is at their site: ftp.kde.org.
I've seen KDE .deb-packages in their ftp-area. It's also accessible via the
web interface at www.kde.org.
Usability depends on what you consider "old". I am using a self compiled
version 1.0. The only thing which bugs me about this 1.0-release is the
documentaion. I a lot of cases all I got to read was something like:
"Currently there's no documentation avilable for this program." All in all,
I think KDE's pretty usable, though.
The last release I saw of GNOME (0.30 I think) was still too unstable to be
considered seroiusly.
Maybe you want to look at a "regular" windowmanager, rather than a desktop
environment. Window Maker 0.20.3, for instance, is what I am currently using.
Hope this helps.
So long,
Stephan
