,----[ Quote ]
| The second day of the KDE 4.0 Release Event in Mountain View, California, was
| a very busy day. Reporters and users joined the hackers, peeking over their
| shoulders, asking questions and generally trying to figure us out. Talks were
| given - most notably the keynote by Aaron Seigo, but also covering KOffice,
| the KDE-Edu project, and multimedia. Read on for more details.

| Smoothness of KWin rendering can be improved by setting the env.variable
| KWIN_NVIDIA_HACK to 1.

Goodbye Vista, KDE 4.0 Has Arrived!
,----[ Quote ]
| There are only few people who know that if you look out of your 'Windows',
| the world is much more vivid and beautiful. Apple is known for its good
| looks, but it’s excessively expensive, while Vista is a big disappointment
| (check Tech Cold War 2007!). Now, there is GNU/Linux which, in fact, is free
| and offers much more options and freedom than Windows or Mac. One of the most
| popular desktop environments on GNU/Linux platform has come out in a new
| flavour - KDE 4.0.

First impressions: KDE 4.0
,----[ Quote ]
| CARDS on the table time - I'm a KDE man at heart. There, I've said it - let
| the KDE v Gnome flame war begin! But seriously, I'm not knocking Gnome at
| all, it's just that personally I prefer KDE. Yes, it is bloated, and no, I
| probably don't use half of the applications that come with it by default
| (does anyone?). However, it is the desktop environment I keep returning to
| which, without revisiting the same tired old debate, surely says something.
