Thinking of installing kde 4.1 but questions

[EABonney]

I am thinking of trying out kde 4.1 on my laptop but I have some questions before I do. I added the ppa repositories to my sources.list file and even before I was going to install 4.1, it said that there where upgrades to be performed. When I went to install them I got warning from Aptitude that these where untrusted packages and that they could compromise my system. Is this just a warning that they are not coming from the main repository? I just don't want to break anything too seriously on my laptop with the install.

I don't mind have some issues, but I would prefer not to have to reinstall the entire thing if this didn't work well.

Thanks,

-Eric

Re: Thinking of installing kde 4.1 but questions

You are correct. It's just a warning that the packages are not from an official repo. However, I'm sure many others will tell you that they are perfectly safe. I can't speak for your specific case, but I've installed KDE 4.1 and done updates with the ppa repo and everything's working great for me.
