I have had experience of people used to seeing people using Linux with KDE and 
when they see it with another desktop such as GNOME they ask what OS it is. 
It seems that many associate KDE as Linux.

As for the group distro - I doubt it will ever happen as no one will agree on 
where it should go. Mandrake have vastly different (and better IMHO) 
objectives to RedHat.

As for a KDE distro - this has been discussed many times, and will only happen 
if someone makes it happen. I would certainly bugtest it but have no time to 
develop it (nor have the knowledge of OS design) at the moment.

I think Xandros will be an interesting one to look at.
