KDE 4.0 install on OpenSUSE

I have previously installed KDE 4.0 RC2 on Kubuntu. It involved adding deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then installing a few KDE4 based packages. To be true, I was not able to do that using Adept, the Kubuntu package manager. I had to go to command line and then the install went fine.
OpenSUSE, however, changes the entire perspective of installing applications. Their revolutionary 1-Click install performs the job very well here too. All we need to do is to goto KDE4 page on OpenSUSE website and click this button . There are a few alternative install too; like the basic install and the KDE4 build dependency for developers who want to install KDE4 from source.
After clicking the KDE4 Desktop install button, YAST2 takes care of the install and does its job very well. Please check out the screenshots from the install.

  1. KDE4 Page
  2. Welcome screen with the option to choose Advanced features.
  3. Repository chooser.
  4. Aditional Package chooser.
  5. Final Install .
  6. Lastly the default KDE4 desktop and its beautiful.

    Check out the plasmoids. I really love them. My next article is going to be on Pasmoids.
As compared to Kubuntu, the install is a breeze and very easy. I love mouse clicks.
I hope you enjoyed the article as much as I had enjoyed installing KDE4. Watch out for more articles on KDE 4 on OpenSUSE.
