Hey, I'm technically making a KDE edition of a distro, and I was wondering what would the users of kde want to see in a kde distro?

So I am asking you guys, basically things like what apps? artwork? And other things like the inclusion of the old KDE 4.6 and before kickoff with no breadcrumbs (A feature I dislike )

I am hoping to see great responses and I will get with the distro creator and maintainer I am working with to try to implement as much of your guys choices into the distro.

You mean you're doing an operating system organized arround KDE, right? That's a bit weird idea, since many KDE based distro exist: Kubuntu, Chakra, Pardus.. But, if you still insist:
- LiveCD form
- OpenBSD based, I'm tired with all this GNU/Linux stuff
- Nice ports/package maintenance tool
- Integration of BSD configuration files into systemsettings
- rc editor
- Simple installer (ubiquity is nice and you could use it as base)
- GUI monitoring based on mtree
- nice NFS integration, like click to share (SMB really doesn't fit well to unix environment)
Nah, that seems all

It sounds like you are organizing a KDE variant of an existing distro. Some things I would hope for in such a scenario:
* Qt/KDE front-ends for all of the distro's tools (I assume the distro already provides GTK, or at least command-line tools)
* distro-specific themes (wallpaper, color scheme, style - matching Qt/KDE, plasma and Gtk themes, splash screen, etc.)
* Stays relatively up-to-date with KDE releases.

Since there are many "big" distros offering good vanilla KDE packages, I would go for a customized distro that focuses on a good out-of-the-box experience. That includes
- Nice integration with GTK apps (Oxygen GTK)
- If you choose Firefox as a web browser, use the Oxygen Firefox theme and maybe some of the openSUSE stuff
- Maybe a more "traditional" setup, such as Folder View as desktop type, locked widgets by default, maybe hide the toolbox (Stealth Cashew; this can lead to problems though) etc.
- Or you could go with a non-standard desktop, for example, use Icon Tasks as the task manager

Basically, offer something different. The ideas above are for those who don't like the standard KDE workspace setup. Another idea is to offer a "KDE slim", without Strigi indexing, Akonadi etc. I'm not saying that these are bad, but there seems to be a demand for such a thing. See Kubuntu's "Low fat settings" for inspiration.

I've only focused on the KDE side of things here and ignored what I want to see in a distro in general.

Just curious, why do you want to make this distro, and have you looked at the current alternatives?

I'd peruse kde-apps.org and kde-look.org for service menus, widgets, themes and apps that aren't part of KDE and KDE extra but are useful but not always packaged by distro's.

If you do "KDE slim" like Hans suggests you should add Recoll for desktop search, it's a KDE app (though not part of KDE) and light on resources. And you'd need to find light email, scheduling and rss reader apps - maybe you could package kpim1 (or Thunderbird with a KDE theme).

Not sure we need another spin of Ubuntu (or Debian OR Fedora or whatever) but if you're going to do it the idea of a slim KDE would standout.

The idea of staying with 4.6 because of Kickoff breadcrumbs seems short sighted considering 4.8 is coming and Kwin is supposed to be much faster - better to patch Kickoff and stay current.
