When it comes to it, this is KDE and SuSE covering their respective 
legal behinds. Can't comment on evolution, but the KDE3.3 from 
ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE (or mirror) is quite fine 
to use.

What do you mean? To 9.2? Yes, SuSE post an ftp version about a month 
after the boxes ship - it's broadly the same as the pro edition except 
certain packages are missing for licence reasons (e.g. Java) but they 
are easily sourced on the net elsewhere.

If you have done the YOU updates you should have 0.9.3.
