LinuxMCE Partners with KDE for New Release

,----[ Quote ]
| In an effort to address the '10 foot' interface challenge, LinuxMCE and KDE 
| Plasma developers are working to bring the two projects together. The first 
| step was making a prototype showing how LinuxMCE and KDE can work together, 
| which is showcased in the 0704 release where LinuxMCE is integrated with 
| Kubuntu and KDE 3.5.

| LinuxMCE appears to comprise a set of add-ons -- such as the MythTV DVR 
| (digital video recorder), for example -- that sit on top of Kubuntu, the 
| version of Ubuntu that uses KDE (K desktop environment). It adds numerous 
| fancy features, including the optional alpha-blended UI (user interface) 
| shown in the screenshots below.

LinuxMCE 1.1 Released -- Now Runs KDE

,----[ Quote ]
| There's also word that LinuxMCE, since it works so well with the
| KDE desktop environment, that the guys at the KDE project are
| seriously considering integrating LinuxMCE into their upcoming
| 4.0 release. Now this is HUGE! If combined in the KDE 4.0 release,
| LinuxMCE + Kubuntu would be a free, open-source competitor/aternative
| to Windows Vista Ultimate.
