KDE 3.2-beta2 - Towards a Better KDE?

JigSaw writes "KDE 3.2-beta2 was released last week for general testing and OSNews offers a preview of what's expected from the 'popular X11 desktop environment' early next year upon its release. The article mentions KDE's new features (faster loading times, Konqueror's Service Menus, Kontact, KPDF, Plastik theme etc), the problems that still plague it (cluttered Kmenu and Konqueror menus, too many disorganized kontrol center modules) and some constructive suggestions on how to get over the bloat without losing the functionality."

Add these repositories

[Wee]

Is there any way to point yum at the Fedora RPMs so you don't have to manually download and install each RPM file?

Add the unstable repositories from the KDE for Red Hat project to /et/apt/sources.list. Do an 'apt-get update && apt-get ugrade', restart X and you should be off like a prom dress.

Although now that I think about it, I'm not sure if they have RPMs built yet. Go poke around their ftp server or wait a couple days and check. But I can say with 100% certainty that using apt (yum) and their repositories is by far the easiest way of getting a new verion of KDE on a /Red Hat|Fedora/ box.
