Hi,everyone.
I'm running Mint on KDE 4.3.5 and I would like to know if I can upgrade to the current release of KDE (4.4.x ?).Does anybody know how I can safely do this?
Many thanks.

This should be possible, and given that Mint is Debian/Ubuntu based, you should be able to use their packages without issue if Mint does not have any themselves.

This means that I have to go to Debian amd download the packages...?
I was more interested in how I can do this.

@sdim: You will need to make the needed changes to the configuration files used by APT, located at /etc/apt/
