Hands on: Explore the KDE 4.1 Linux desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| The aforementioned Plasma feature now works without a hitch, and ‘Plasmoids’
| (Plasma applets) can be added, removed, scaled and rotated at will. The
| taskbar has had many improvements too, and its width and position can now be
| adjusted.

Ubuntu: Try KDE 4.2 Now!
,----[ Quote ]
| Dolphin, the file manager for KDE 4, has also seen a few little improvements
| too; most noticeably among them being the slider to smoothly increase or
| decrease the size of the icons in folders.
|
| While this all sounds fantastic, keep in mind that this new version is still
| very much a work-in-progress, and may be prone to random breakage; the Plasma
| workspace has still been crashing regularly for me, desktop effects are still
| a little buggy and sluggish, and a few other niggles which prevent me
| personally from choosing the new KDE series over the proven stability of the
| Gnome desktop. However, it’s great for a casual tinker and for those who like
| to live on the bleeding edge. Have fun!

| Episode 4 of my KDE videocast will be broadcast live at 17:00 UTC on

| detail. ;) It won't be at UStream, and I have two options on the table, one
| of which is FOSS! If the FOSS option doesn't come through this week, it
| hopefully will by next week. I'll post details on my blog here when I know
| exactly where it will be.

KDE 4.2: Codenamed Caterpillar, Promising a Butterfly
,----[ Quote ]
| If the first beta of KDE 4.2 is any indication, then the final release of the
| popular GNU/Linux desktop should be the release in which KDE 4 comes into its
| own.
|
| Featuring numerous small enhancements to system settings and standard
| applications, as well as improved customization and features on the desktop
| and panel, 4.2 is a significant upgrade by any standards. Codenamed
| Caterpillar, the release offers hopeful hints of the butterfly that is
| scheduled to emerge in January.

KDE 4.2 is flat out going to rock
,----[ Quote ]
| That’s my prediction. Of course, the truth of the matter is that KDE 4.2
| (trunk) flat out rocks today. Seriously. I have never been more excited about
| the Linux desktop than I am right now. And this, 2+ months out from our
| actual KDE 4.2 release. I’ve been running OpenSUSE 11 for a couple of months
| now, and thanks to the awesome nightly/weekly KDE 4.2/trunk packages, I’m
| thoroughly enjoying pretty-darned-bleeding-edge 4.2/trunk packages, but with
| half the carbs, and I am loving what I’m seeing!
