Just to add a little more info. When it says that KDE is basically only |
| 27 |
supporting KDE4, that just means there is no more "features" being added |
| 28 |
to KDE3 and most likely only a few bug or security fixes. They may fix |
| 29 |
some major problem but they are mostly concentrating on KDE4. |

If you want to install KDE4, check out autounmask. It is a neat little |
| 32 |
tool to deal with all the dependencies that KDE4 needs. |
