Installing amarok 2 and openoffice 3 in Kubuntu

OpenOffice 3 is out and I heard its pretty much good. And my favorite music player Amarok( hmm now with competition of songbird I have re consider this statement) has now reached version 2 beta 2. So I decided to test them out. These packages are available at repositories at launchpad's ppa(personal package archives) which hosts packages from sources provided by individuals.

The repositories we need to add for that
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main

For open office 3 it will be available as updates for existing ones. For amarok 2 beta 2 you need to install amarok-kde4, which will uninstall existing amarok package and install amarok 2 beta.
