  1. Hi,
    Thanks for the article.
    i need a clarification - As i read on some other sites

    1) If you have Kubuntu installed then we can go ahead and do -
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    2)In case of Ubuntu we need to do (if KDE 4* is not installed)
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

    Please let me know if this is correct or we can just run
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    ir-respective of Ubuntu or Kubuntu installed.

    Thanks
    Rohan

    Any of the three choices will work as long as you have the

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu jaunty main

    line in your /etc/apt/sources.list

  4. KDE 4.3 installed fine with
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
    and KDE 4.3 looks promising as well.
