Great Linux Innovations Of 2008
,----[ Quote ]
| Last year we had looked at The Greatest Linux Innovations
| Of 2007, and as this year ends, we have compiled a similar
| list of what we believe were some of the greatest Linux
| innovations or achievements of 2008. Among the innovations
| named this year were KDE 4, NetworkManager 0.7, new
| hardware companies standing behind open-source support, and
| the Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix.
|
| Below is our 2008 list with the highlights being listed in
| no particular order.
|
| KDE 4:
|
| Just as the near year came about, KDE 4.0 was released.
| This major overhaul to the K Desktop Environment included
| porting the applications to the Qt 4.x tool-kit,
| introducing a new device integration framework, bringing
| forth the Plasma desktop and interface tools, and the
| Phonon multimedia API. This Linux desktop environment
| update was so huge that Google had even hosted a release
| event party.
