Hi all,

9th February, 2010. Today KDE announces the immediate availability of the KDE Software Compilation 4.4, “Caikaku”, bringing an innovative collection of applications to Free Software users. Major new technologies have been introduced, including social networking and online collaboration features, a new netbook-oriented interface and infrastructural innovations such as the KAuth authentication framework. According to KDE’s bug-tracking system, 7293 bugs have been fixed and 1433 new feature requests were implemented. The KDE community would like to thank everybody who has helped to make this release possible.

So lets install it in openSUSE 11.2.

1- Open YaST, go to software repositories and click on add button(if you haven’t added these repos yet, otherwise skip this step) and add these repos and give it any name you want.
