Knoppix boots up into KDE, and they have a DVD version. Besides being a live 
disc, it's easily installable onto your hard disk.

IIRC the Mandriva 2007 I use defaults to KDE and has lots and lots of KDE 
programs (I'm writing this on kmail), but my hatred of KDE is so profound 
that my first step was to switch to IceWM, and my second step was to find 
non-KDE substitutes for as many KDE programs as I could.

It's my fervent hope that LyX never becomes a KDE program. Qt is OK, but IMHO 
KDE programs have too many needless interactions with other programs (like 
dcop server, gimme a break), needlessly causing crashiness and other 
problems.
