New to Ubuntu Linux? This computer operating system could be a bit tricky for beginners, but fret not, help is here. Check out this video tutorial on how to install KDE 4.3 Plasma on [k] Ubuntu Linux.

After six months of development, the K Desktop Environment 4.3.0 was launched on August 4th, 2009.

It fixes over 10,000 bugs and brings about 2,000 features. Among some of the most interesting ones in the KDE 4.3.0 desktop environment we can mention the new Arora web browser that will replace Konqueror, the beautiful Air theme, new eye-candy effects, a redesigned run dialog, lots of Plasma improvements, a new network manager, updated applications and many more. With this said, the KDE 4.3.0 is the most modern and beautiful desktop environment to date.

Today's tutorial is for those of you who don't want to wait until late October for the Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release, which will come with a default KDE 4.3.0 installation, and it will teach you, step by step, how to install the brand-new KDE 4.3.0 desktop environment on your existing Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) installation.
