I tried out the kde4 remix of kubuntu as soon as it launched, and I was not satisfied (as many others were not as well) with feature-set nor stability
Kubuntu < 8.10 is not a very good KDE4 distro. OpenSuSE is a better KDE distro.

Also, I want to test it in FREEBSD
Works fine on FreeBSD. There's a handy port for installing it, although it will take awhile to compile. Not nearly as long as KDE3, though. Works quite nicely. Have been using it on my desktop at home since it hit the ports tree, updated to KDE 4.1.1 when that hit the ports tree.

It does take a while to get configured the way you want. But once configured, it nicely stays out of your way.
