I use Fedora 9, and this now has up-to-date Qt (4.4.1).
Recently I noticed that Fedora went 2-3 weeks without ANY updates, a
curious state indeed. Eventually, there was an update in yum and various
PackageKits, immediately after which suddenly there was about 150MB of
updates, including a new Qt, and KDE 4.1.x.
I'm not exactly a strong advocate of Fedora, but generally speaking it
stays pretty up to date and, of course, it's free.
