Update KDE to 4.5 and experience true improvement

“For the longest time I have shrugged off KDE 4 because of poor
performance. But since 4.4 I have noticed a rather vast leap of the
improvement chasm. Now, 4.5 is out and the leap went lunar! That’s

isn’t one of the very light weight window managers, but that’s
comparing apples to chocolate chip cookies). For all of those who
want to experience this amazing improvement, but don’t want to have
to wait until your distribution of choice releases with KDE 4.5 in
all its glory, fear not…there is a way.

“In this article I am going to show you how to upgrade both
Fedora and Ubuntu so that your KDE becomes as snappy and reliable
as it was back in the good ol’ days of 3.5.”
