Tuesday, we reported that the KDE project had released the first beta of KDE 4.1, the release that is supposed to be ready to replace KDE3 on normal users' desktops. The information and marketing speak in the press release sure was promising, so Ars decided to take the KDE 4.1 beta out for a spin.

$ sudo su

A technical nit pick. This is redundant. Do either:
$ su
passsord:
$ ifconfig eht1 up
$ dhclient eth1
or
$ sudo ifconfig eth1 up
$ sudo dhclient eth1
sudo let's you run a single command at a time as the super user and can be configured to do so without a password prompt
su let's you become the super user and doesn't need to be called via sudo. It's best to use su - or just set an alias in your shell config file for it so that you inherit root's environment.
