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

To answer only half your question, GNOME is very close. The 1.0 feature
freeze is on Tuesday, and the final 1.0 release will happen within a month
if all goes well.

 I installed kdebase, kdeutils, kdegraphics, etc, by finding the packages at

 related to permissions, and most problematic, there are many missing help

 How do I figure out whether I have kde 1.0 or a beta?
 
 What is the best way to upgrade the whole kde suite to 1.0?

You'll want to go to ftp.kde.org and poke around.  There are debs for the core
stuff in there.  They work real nice out of the box, no problems here.
