I run Gentoo, and compile everything from source :) Anyway, KDE 2.2.2 and 3.0 
can co-exist side by side with no problems. I'm doing that at home on my 
Gentoo box, and at work on my Mandrake box (where I installed everything via 
RPM).

Whatever you do, do NOT symlink the two versions. QT 3.x (and as a result, KDE 
3.x) are NOT binary compatible with KDE 2.2.2/QT 2.3.2 appliations.
