On win it's much easier to just dl the zip version and have it in a separate folder that u can delete than mess about with system rollback.

Depends which OS you are using. You could install Ubuntu on a USB stick and install Inkscape .48 on that. Or on Windows just install and do a system rollback if you don't like the new version.

I am still using .46 as I find it easier for some of the effects I want to get. Is there any way I can test the new version and still keep .46 on my computer to use ?

Compile it but don't do a make install. Run inkscape .48 from inside the src directory. Or run ./configure --prefix=~/inkscape0.48 && make && make install and you will find inkscape in ~/inkscape0.48/bin.

Hmm, so it will run in userspace. I didn't know that. I find it can be very useful having programs that can do that.
