Hi,
I recently got a bit tired of the bugs when running KDE "Factory" repos (openSUSE), and downgraded to KDE 4.5. However, I follow KDE blogs and news closely and like to try out new features, but sometimes I just need a solid and stable system. Can I somehow have two versions of KDE installed in the same system, or do I need to have two complete installations of my whole distribution? If I do the latter, can I share my home directory without the unstable versions of KDE corrupting my data? How do other people do it? |

as that 4.6 is now been released I'd wonder what bugs you're running into and if they are still there could would you please post them on bugzilla
openSuse will soon have a 4.6 repo http://forums.opensuse.org/english/othe ... ost2283044 as to having 2 Kde releases installed concurrently I would think that if you compiled them from source maybe (with work) but probably not using packages you can share home dir's if you have have different distro's installed but if the versions of kde differ there is always the possibility that config files created by the newer version might cause issues with the older and visa versa if you just want to play with an unstable version (sandboxed) you can run/install a livecd from within VirtaulBox (or other virtualization solution) |
