Thank you all for your replies; I shall do a little research and
switch to a new distro. At some point I'll no doubt want to learn how
to compile KDE for myself, but would rather concentrate for now on
learning C++, QT, KDE, OPENGL ...

There are some animated sequences which have been in my imagination
since I first came across polyhedra 35 years ago. And now I have a
fast enough machine and some decent programming tools to generate
them. I'll keep you informed!
