Rex:  I've been using kde-unstable on my SL i686 laptop pretty much 
since you made it available.  I can't say I've explored its features, 
and the laptop isn't in continuous use;  but I've found it much more 
stable and user friendly than what I had before, which was, as far as I 
was aware, the standard distribution.  Thanks a lot.

I've mentioned my use of kde-unstable, and kernel-lt from elrepo, in 
several posts on the ATrpms-users, rpmfusion, MythTV and SL lists.  I 
guess it would be good to lose the 'unstable' tag.  Most el6-clone users 
are hoping for stability :-)

Maybe I can mention, in passing, that the mouse on my F17 box has 
developed twitchy and unpredictable behaviour over the last few weeks; 
window switching and text selection often need several attempts before 
they come right.  I expect I'll be moving on to F18 soon, though, so 
it's not going to get much attention.

But yes, I like your 'unstable' el6 packages.
