KDE4 with Ubuntu Gutsy (first impressions)

| Conclusions

| There are lots of features I haven’t discovered yet and there’s still a lot
| of polishing to do on it, but its beautiful, fun and safe to use. I’ve been
| using KDE4 at work for the whole day, and I know its very premature to say
| it, but I think its a great release, great changes, and with a very, very
| promising future ahead.

KDE 4: like a dream on 256Mb/1Ghz/Intel!
,----[ Quote ]
| And I was pleasantly surprised with how well it all works. With a "debugfull"
| build from SVN. With kwin_composite 3d eye candy, on Intel. With KDE 3
| libraries loaded too (for KPowerSave, since it's not ported yet). As they
| like to say here in Franconia, it's like "a'Traum".
