Hello,
Does anybody knows where to get a current version of kde (rpms, 3.5.6 or better 3.5.7) for CentOS 5? I want to change my desktop system from Fedora Core 6 with kde 3.5.6 installed on to CentOS 5 and I would like to use my ~/.kde directory without any further changes. Thank you!
regards Olaf

Replacing whole components of the system can (and will) break the system, and is unsupported. The basic idea of enterprise Linux is providing a known, stable version, and backporting security/reliability fixes to that. Not having the latest version.

Ok, thank you.
The current version of kde in CentOS 5 is 3.5.4. In view of the fact that CentOS 5 has a long term support for security/reliability fixes, will be kde 3.5.4 supported during the whole term support of CentOS 5 with security/reliability fixes, although the kde team hasn't such a long term support for kde 3.5.4? Or will there be a kde upgrade for CentOS 5 in a few years?

There will for sure be security fixes in the upstream product and this means they will make it into Centos 5.
If you need kde 3.5.7 there is the kde-redhat project which will make 3.5.7 available for el5/f7/centos5.
