Hello,
Is it possible to have more then one version of KDE installed and switch between them? I'd like to try out the new KDE but don't want to lose what I have now. Thnx

It is possible. You'll have to follow the directions pretty closely on techbase.kde.org for multi version installs, however I'd recommend doing so on a more "desktop" centric distribution than CentOS, since it has a number of key libraries and services that are far older than KDE 4.2 and greater want. One of a few of which are HAL, Dbus, and Cups. If you do so on CentOS, you might find some features lacking because of this.

Maybe try it, using VMWare or Virtual Box, so you do not destroy your current installation.
