# Chapter 15. Utility Applications

You can get the following applications in the kdeutils distributions.

Stable applications are relatively bug free and come in source and binary formats.

ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/stable

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.
