I like it a lot and the claimed speed improvements seem to be real.  Startup 
times for me (first login) have gone from 22 seconds to 15 seconds.  On 
subsequent logins the difference is quite small but it's marginally faster 
(roughly 5 seconds instead of 6).  kmail is also significantly faster, my 
maildir contains over 165,000 messages, kmail was becoming quite slow now 
it's very fast even on the largest mailboxes (except first time, it must be 
doing some caching).  This is comparing kde 3.1.5 and 3.2.0.

OTOH, I've found a number of sites in the last few days that make konqueror 
crash, that was extremely rare on the konqueror from 3.1.5.

For Debian stable users add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
