HI LIst; What version of KDE is included in the latest version of CentOS ? Also, is there a way to get KDE4 in CentOS ? If so, Can I have both KDE3.x and KDE4 installed and switch back and forth between the 2 versions if needed ? Thanks in advance... /Kevin

Major changes in CentOS 5 compared to CentOS 4 include: These updated software versions: Apache-2.2, php-5.1.6, kernel-2.6.18, Gnome-2.16, KDE-3.5, OpenOffice.org-2.3, Evolution-2.12, Firefox-3.0, Thunderbird-2.0, MySQL-5.0, PostgreSQL-8.1."> Also, is there a way to get KDE4 in CentOS ?
