I use kde4 for my box for two month as my desktop and I'm quite happy with it I like to see changes and improvement come up day by day, it's very interesting , and I do my works as well. I build it from source from svn using kdesvn-build , a great tool you can find here http://kdesvn-build.kde.org/ It's very simple to configure and It will build every kde module you need installing it where you want. My kde4 installation is in /opt/kde4 and don't mess with pacman database since it's not packaged. :-) Since the stuff is all there if I want to remove it I simply delete that folder and start again. So , tweak your .kdesvn-buildrc as you want , build with kdesvn-build --debug kdesupport kdelibs kdepimlibs kdebase set up a correct environment for the user (better with a script in /etc/profile.d) and you're done with your kde4 experience. cheers

Keep an eye on this thread... http://www.kdemod.ath.cx/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=406action=new Also, any ideas on when we'll get KDE4 on extra or even testing? IMO KDE 4 is all but ready for production, from what I've heard even the KDE developpers suggest waiting untill at least KDE 4.1 for it to be actually usable. It's usable to varying degrees right now and a lot of folks are just keen to try it out. I've got a Kubuntu laptop and even just using their KDE4 packages on top of 3.5.8 KWin (without the plasma desktop) is a worthwhile experience. --markc
