You'd normally have to do a rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps, a chancy thing at best

If you are just a regular user, dont bother. 2.4.x supports some more
hardware etc - but if you have a stable system and are not inclined to
experiment around, don't.

Dont use redhat 7 - lots of bugs. Try Mandrake 7.2 (or wait a bit for
mandrake 8 - for which the beta is out right now) or SuSE 7 / Slackware 7.1 -
all ship with kde2.
