Another Angle to my KDE 4 Test: Installing KDE 4 Core to Suzaku

I decided I gotta be a little nutty just to have some fun… So I was curious if there was a way to install the KDE 4 core packages to get an internet experience with KDE 4 on my laptop, Suzaku. Sure enough, the process to install it for Gutsy was detailed here: Kubuntu.org – Be Free with KDE 4.0. Unfortunately with my family’s ADSL connection, it may take me a while to install the packages. The boredom of slow downloads is pretty painful or in Bender’s words from the movie “Bender’s Big Score”:

Suicide Booth, Gimme your best shot! Electrocution please, a side order of poison! Helloooo… Kill me, you stupid machine!!! What the..? Local calls 50 cents?! It’s a street corner telephone parlor!

Though I imagine that when the downloads finish installing and provided everything functions… I will probably feel like saying another one of Bender’s great quotes from the same movie:

People will call me a failure! Others however will call me the world’s sexiest killing machine, who’s fun at parties!

Welp, time to wait for the download or even possibly prep for the gym.

Update: 11:20am – Seems it finished… Time to reboot my X session and kick into KDE 4
