CentOS - Jun 2009 - More then one version of KDE

Hello,

Is it possible to have more then one version of KDE installed and switch 
between them?  I'd like to try out the new KDE but don't want to lose
what I
have now.  Thnx

It is possible. You'll have to follow the directions pretty closely on
techbase.kde.org for multi version installs, however I'd recommend doing so
on a more "desktop" centric distribution than CentOS, since it has a
number
of key libraries and services that are far older than KDE 4.2 and greater
want. One of a few of which are HAL, Dbus, and Cups. If you do so on CentOS,
you might find some features lacking because of this.

Maybe  try it, using VMWare or Virtual Box, so you do not destroy your
current installation.
