Detailed procedures for upgrading RH-7.3 or even RH-9 to a recent
version of KDE is probably difficult. If you look at:

http://www.kde.org/info/requirements/3.4.php
or
http://www.kde.org/info/requirements/3.5.php

... you can see that there are many dependencies required for
compiling the source code. For getting a binary package, there are
going to be similar dependency requirements, and many of these might
not even exist.

For someone new to linux, it would be best to upgrade the whole distribution.

You might try sites like distrowatch, linux.org, or perhaps there is a
modern distribution that specifically caters to your native language:
