apt and yum are pretty much the same functionality. With yum, you can skip apt's 'apt-get update' step, and

After going through a lot of headache of solving dependencies and conflicts manually, I finally got KDE 3.4 working. And wow......it looks good. Still I have to install a lot of additional stuff, and again there are so many dependencies.
It is your computer and you can do what you want :)
But, there are so many dependency changes and so many replacement files, including many things that are not KDE, that I would not recommend upgrading to either KDE 3.4 (or Gnome 2.10 for that matter) to a normal user. This is especially true if you want the stability of an enterprise OS.
Not to say that those are not both great Display systems (they both offer good things) ... but they might make some packages, compiled against the older versions of either, not work correctly.
Again, I am not trying to tel people what to do, just point out that once you make an upgrade as drastic as that (upgrading KDE or Gnome) to CentOS-4, it is not really CentOS-4 anymore ... but more like Fedora Core again.
Not that there is anything bad about Fedora Core ... it is just not CentOS :)
