<para>You can get the following applications in the kdenetwork distributions.</para>

<para>Stable applications are relatively bug free and come in source and binary formats.</para>
<para><ulink url="ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/">ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/stable</ulink> </para>
<para>Unstable versions change daily and are only in source form, meaning you
must compile them to get a working version.  Remember these are unstable
and might not even compile.  If you have a problem with an unstable application,
report the problem and it will most likely be fixed in a future snapshot.</para>
