引述 :『KDE 4.3.2 has been released on 6th October, so I also upgraded my KDE version from 4.1 to 4.3 in openSUSE 11.1 yesterday. Of course, there are some reasons why I upgraded KDE version. One of which is Choqok that is my favorite applications in KDE...』

引述 :『Semantik (previously Kdissert) is a mindmapping-like tool to help students to produce complicated documents very quickly and efficiently 』

引述 :『Filelight 是套以圖形方式顯示硬碟狀態的軟體，進去後可以看到各資料佔用的狀態，而且可以一層一層往裡頭看，不過它可不支援 Windows，而是套跑在 Unix 以及 KDE 下的軟體。』

引述 :『The current installable Live-CD contains only packages which are part of the KDE 4.0 release.』

引述 :『If you want to test KDE 4 without installing packages download the live CD (554MB). Packages are available for 7.10 (Gutsy) and our development Hardy version. They install to /usr/lib/kde4 and can be installed alongside your existing KDE 3.』

引述 :『I’ve complained and cheered about KDE 4 RC2 from openSUSE. I’ve updated to the latest openSUSE packages since writing those articles, and things have moved in a very positive direction. I’ve been able to use it as my main desktop without issues for about a week now.』

引述 :『KDE Project Ships Fourth Major Version of cutting edge Free Software Desktop With the fourth major version, the KDE Community marks the beginning of the KDE 4 era. 』

引述 :『KDE 4.0.0 - KWin Composite Showcast』

引述 :『KDE 4.0.0 is days away from being released. In this post I show you some pieces of the final look of KDE4.0.0 and mention some of the most anticipated features of this great step forward for the Free software desktop. Let's take a look at the final state of this highly anticipated release.』

引述 :『The KDE 4.0.0 tag was populated today in the KDE version control repository. This means that the source code has been finalized in preparation for the official release. KDE 4.0 is now ready to be packaged for inclusion in distributions. 』

引述 :『Before everyone starts to spread his opinion about KDE 4.0 let me spread some reminders:』

引述 :『There's one thing for certain: Now is an exciting time to be a KDE user. The much anticipated launch of KDE 4 is slated for January 11th, 2008. This is a major revamp of the look and feel of the KDE desktop, with the inclusion of a built-in compositor (think eye candy) and something called "plasmoids" (little functional widgets embedded into your desktop).』

引述 :『There are two dominant software projects that provide Linux with a graphical user interface, but only one of them will get long-term support in Ubuntu's next version of the open-source operating system. GNOME, the default user interface for Ubuntu, will receive the support, but KDE won't.』

引述 :『Yes, you heard that right! Kubuntu 8.04, the Hardy Heron, will provide you the option of using either KDE 3.5 or KDE 4. Jonathan Riddell just posted the news in an email to the Kubuntu Developer’s mailing list, and you can read that email right HERE. We are going to focus on getting the bugs fixed in 3.5 and creating room for a Kubuntu with KDE 4. This means that Kubuntu 8.04 will not be an LTS (Long Term Support) release and will offer the typical 18 months of support. After the 8.04 release you can pretty much bet on Kubuntu being a KDE 4 release only!』

引述 :『What in the blazes is a desktop environment, anyway? How is that different from a window manager? When is it more appropriate to use one over the other?』

引述 :『The last two tables (Effective Resident, Sole Mapped), shows the facts: KDE 4 requires more memory. In similar conditions KDE 3 consumed 97 MB (+29 MB by XServer) on memory, whereas KDE 4 about 170 MB (+72 MB by XServer). But is it much more? Yes and no. The memory consumption is almost doubled, but the usage of new technologies and significant use of Composite, to achieve eye-friendly effects (which in fact could be turned off); we could justify the additional 110MB.』

引述 :『So someone just asked in #kde4-devel whether it was worth trying KDE 4 on a 2500Mhz/256Mb computer and I was characteristically careful and guessed "It will work, but won't be good.". Then I decided to put my money where my mouth is and booted my Thinkpad X60 with "mem=256M maxcpus=1", logged into KDE 4 and set the power saving policy to "Powersave", which throttles the CPU to 1Ghz and locks it there. And then I used KDE 4 some, started Konqueror, browsed about a bit, configured a few things with System Settings, started Kopete and chatted a little. And I was pleasantly surprised with how well it all works. With a "debugfull" build from SVN. With kwin_composite 3d eye candy, on Intel. With KDE 3 libraries loaded too (for KPowerSave, since it's not ported yet). As they like to say here in Franconia, it's like "a'Traum".』

引述 :『The developers are confident to be able to release a more polished and better working KDE 4.0 desktop in January. The changed plans involve releasing on January 11th, 2008.』

引述 :『The KDE Community is happy to announce the immediate availability of the first release candidate for KDE 4.0. This release candidate marks that the majority of the components of KDE 4.0 are now approaching release quality.』

引述 :『The third beta of KDE 4.0 was released this past week and today the KDE folks are out with KDE Four Live v0.5, which is based upon OpenSuSE. The KDE Four Live image contains all modules for KDE 4.0, KOffice 2.0 SVN, and other cutting-edge developments with v0.5 being the KDE 3.94.1 snapshot. At Phoronix we have taken a few screenshots to share from this very attractive desktop environment.』
