best kde supporting distro

I am using debian sid right now but a lot of kde apps are not available for it. What is in your opinion the distro with the widest (and most up-to-date) kde apps coverage ? Suse ? Mandriva ? Kumbuntu ?

Which applications are you missing?

Being a user fo Debian/sid myself I have found it to be a distro with almost all packages available one can imagine.

I agree that sid coverage is pretty good but a trip to kdeapps is usually a frustrating experience...

Try ksudoku, linux multimedia studio, kdvdbackup,

Programs on appsy usually only have packages for the distro the respective developer is using.

If they become popular they are often not also available as a .deb but more over also available in one of the Debian repositories.

Actually creating a .deb isn't all that difficult if the target program is using a ./configure script.
