Well... it's not easy, and probably not sane. Leave it with me for a bit 
and I'll dig through my notes and try and write a useful guide.

I've had it in production of some Asus Eee PC 701SDs for about 6 months 
now - no complaints from the users. The only problem I had was that 
Konqueror doesn't automatically refresh. In the mean time I've become 
very happy with KDE4 (mostly).

De-coupling from Ubuntu can only be a good thing. The reason people want 
Trinity is stability.

Agreed that it's a great project (worthy of a donation).
More proof that Open Source is a great development model.

I suspect support for Lenny will run for a long time yet - and for many 
purposes a separate firewall will provide security if and when patching 
stops (I've heard Sarge is still used on some dedicated devices - and 
gets patches from the manufacturers).

Cheers
