Default Install KDE on Ubuntu

How can one install KDE 3.4 desktop(as I have heard it is really fast)...
on the gnome based UBuntu 5.04...
Also tell me the resources from where I can use the Package for KDE as ubuntu uses .deb packages ( I suppose tht KDE comes as a package only :roll: .)

KDE is not "really fast" when compared to GNOME. They give more or less equal speeds...

You should see KDE with Plastik theme, it looks very neat and fast. But in my persnoal benchmarks i found GNOME to be more responsive than KDE on low memory systems.

Actually, I found KDE 3.4 (running on the slax live cd) to be even faster than XFCE. There seem to have been huge performance improvements. But even Gnome is getting faster (thanks to optimisation of the GTK+2 toolkit).

May be I never experience this kind of slowness on my system with decent resources.
