Hi Michael,
The upgrade should go very smoothly. All you need to do is manually add
the Jaunty lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and run apt-get
update before executing the main upgrade. Be sure to keep the KDE3.5
Intrepid lines in your sources.list file as well.
If you don't have KDE4 installed on your machine now, it will stay
away. If you have both KDE3.5 and KDE4 installed, both will be upgraded
without problems.
I'll see what I can do to get some kind of upgrade script running to
automate that sources.list change (no promises, as I have no experience
in that area yet).
I have a machine running Jaunty here under KDE3.5 with KDE4.2 alongside
with no real issues.
Of course, going from Hardy to Jaunty is a completely different story,
and is not recommended at all.

Tim,
Jaunty comes out in about 2 weeks now, and I'm not sure what the
process is going to be for us 3.5 users. What is involved for us in
the upgrade. I don't currently have KDE4 installed. When I upgrade
will it get installed or does it stay away. Do I have to edit my
sources.list file, or does it automatically get pointed to the 3.5
jaunty repo?
Can you tell us what to expect?
Thanks,
Michael
