I'm thinking of trying the KDE-Unstable, and I was just wondering what to expect - is it really 'unstable' or just leading edge? I wouldn't try it on my work machine, but wondering if it's usually okay on a home machine, and any caveats I might could expect. Also, do I need to enable both Testing and Unstable or just Unstable?
Thanks in advance!

Unstable is *generally* closer to leading edge, containing testable backport builds from fedora rawhide/development tree.
Some of these components will likely find there way into prior fedora releases officially, but you probably should have the ability to manually back out or downgrade packages if things go bad.
Also, do I need to
enable both Testing and Unstable or just Unstable?
both is recommended
