| KDE 4.0 was released several days back, and thanks to the KDE Four Live CD, I
| was able to give it a try with very little effort. Having used it for about a
| day and a half now, I’d like to share some of my impressions of this new
| release of KDE.

KDE4 offers new glitzy look
,----[ Quote ]
| Another new feature is Dolphin, a new file browser that among other things
| can present thumbnails of images and let users add captions and star ratings.
|
| A revamped Systems Settings interface resembles Mac OS X's approach, with
| different options split into related categories.
|
| Cosmetically, KDE has new artwork, including graphical elements such as
| buttons and window frames, called Oxygen.

| Konqueror has the distinction of being the default file manager as well as
| the default web browser of KDE 3.xx. It supports basic file management on
| local UNIX filesystems, from simple cut/copy and paste operations to advanced
| remote and local network file browsing. It has support for KIO slaves and has
| the KParts object through which it can embed components like media player,
| KWord etc. As a web browser it is HTML 4.01 compliant, supporting Java
| applets, JavaScript, CSS 1, CSS 2.1, as well as Netscape plugins (for
| example, Flash or RealVideo plugins).
| Konqueror is a also universal viewing application, capable of embedding
| read-only viewing components in itself to view documents without ever
| launching another application.
