Naaaa! Bitter experience, why?

Ok, RH7 has Gnome as default and IIRC a strange GCC-Version.
But Jonathan, if you want to be a KDE programmer you have to learn how to
handle with source-code!
So compiling things from cvs or tar-balls is some kind of a basic exercise.
And another point: The difference between the varios linux distribution are
not so large and can be changed.
You have to come to one decision: Will you stay on package-management
(binaries) á la RPM or will you go with the source?

In the latter case you can mail me in private, and I will help you creating
a basic KDE development set-up.
Of course you can try RH KDE-2.1-RPMs also.

Bye
