I have it on my 3 systems.
The upgrade to kde3.5.1 can be rather nasty and involves blowing away parts of the kde ports, things were moved. When I upgraded my first system I followed the directions and things kde became screwed up indeed, things weren't installed that should have been, there were conflicts with other things - this off the top of my head as I don't remember exactly what went on when. The next system, I followed what I had learned to do in the past, with the exception that this time I totally blew away kde3.4 and started from scratch with the little procedure I gave you. This took about 1/2 the time on my 1.3GHz amd-tbird system that it took on my amd64 3500+ plus system (the first one I did). So when the time came to do the amd64 3500+ in i386 mode (this computer triple boots by the way) I knew exactly how to do it and everything went as I planned. By the way, I use 6.0 STABLE which is now 6.1 PRERELEASE. By the way, ~/.kde and other things you want to save, stay in place. Going through the setup process for first time use when you bring up kde, will pick them up.
