I just read all about the new release of KDE 2.2. I want to know though, how the hell do I install it? I am running RedHat Linux 7.1 with KDE as my native startup GUI. Im not sure what version I have, I think it's 2.1 but i cant remember. So how do I go about installing it??

i don't know the answer, but if i did, your "hellooooooooo" wouldn't encourage me to answer.
if you don't have docs on your system on uphgrading kde, why don't you start at the kde website: www.kde.org (http://www.kde.org)
also, you could try searching this forum. there's a link for searching somewhere at the top of the page.

Download the .rpm files and install them by typing rpm -i <filename>. If you already have KDE (an earlier version) installed, you'll have to replace the -i with a -U or a -i --replacefiles.
Good luck, KDE 2.2 is great!

That's what I did to get 2.2 installed. Straight to the source and read the documentation.
