“True, the release includes new applications and
improvements to existing applications on the KDE desktop. But it
also features improvements to general desktop functionality and the
evolution of several technologies and directions introduced earlier
in the KDE 4 series of releases. In other words, it is ambitious,
with far more innovations than than the average incremental
release.“As I write, binary packages for KDE 4.4 are still finding their
way into distributions. According to the release page, packages are
available for Gentoo and openSUSE 11.0 and higher.“However, you can also upgrade to the upcoming Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
release, and from Debian’s Experimental repository. These sources
provide a mostly complete preview of the new version of the KDE
desktop, although in some cases you will find that new applications
are not included”
