Source code for the new KDE 4 can be found at http://www.kde.org
For Ubuntu Gutsy users who wants to try out KDE 4, you can install KDE 4.0 side by side with GNOME.
First, add the KDE repository to the sources.list.
Open up a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal). Type
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following line to the end of the file and save it.
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main
Back in the terminal, type,
sudo apt-get update
If you have installed any previous version of KDE4.0, you have to remove it first.
In your terminal,
sudo apt-get autoremove kdelibs5 kde4base-data kde4libs-data
Once done, type
sudo apt-get install kde4-core
It will now retrieve over 100MB of file, so you might want to go for a coffee break.
After downloading and installation has finished, log out of the GNOME desktop. Under the Session, choose KDE 4. Login. You should have the KDE 4 working in your desktop now.
Happy Kubutuing…
