[colug-432] KDE4 Rocks

[Travis Sidelinger]

In my opinion, anything KDE 4 prior to 4.3.x should be considered alpha 
code and should never have been released.  But then if you never release 
it how do you fully test?

I've run Fedora 11 with KDE 4.3.3 for a while now.  My experience was a 
little rocky, but not bad.  Tried kubuntu 8.04 and it was unusable.  Now 
I'm on KDE 4.3.4 under Fedora 12 and things are looking great.  
Everything has just worked.  I haven't played used KPackageKit yet.  Yum 
just works and I know it.
