1. Get a graphics card that is supported.  KDE 4.4 uses many of the features 
of modern graphics cards.  If your card is old, you may not get the best 
experience.

2. Mixed system.  Something like http://iguanasuicide.net/node/4, but for 
Ubuntu rather than Debian.  Get most of your packages from Hardy (like I do 
from Lenny) but get your KDE from Karmic (like I do from Sid).  I use a mixed 
Hardy/Jaunty setup for http://www.freegeekarkansas.org/ -- I wanted to be 
mostly LTS, but we needed Drupal 6.  Also, IIRC, Hardy's mediawiki doesn't 
like Hardy's PostgreSQL 8.

3. Debian Sid+Squeeze.  It's a mixed system, but one that is well supported.  
It does break from time to time, but usually not for very long.  By keeping 
Squeeze in your sources.list, you (mostly) prevent transitions from rendering 
packages completely uninstallable.
