In Ubuntu i just did sudo apt-get install kde and it installed KDE 4.2 for me. I'm wondering how i can do this in Fedora that i'm using right now.. i did yum install kde and it returned this..

Did you try the GUI package manager?
Are the repositories configured correctly?
Does Fedora in fact have a package named "kde" (It might be called something else.)
When i Add/Remove Software (PackageKit Package Manager) and searched for KDE I got a lot of stuff like games and apps and core utils and language support etc but no KDE Desktop Environment itself..
I don't know what repositories i must add to install KDE and i don't even know how to add them either..
I started looking for the Fedora repositories and did not get very far. Look in your package manager and get the url of one of the repositories--plug this into a browser and see if you can find the kde package that way. OR--the Fedora wiki might have something.
If you want JUST kde, it is "yum install kdebase". The reason "yum install kdepim" works is that kdebase is a dependency of kdepim, and therefore yum installs it to satisfy the dependency (as well as all of the other dependencies).
