First look: KDE 4.1 alpha 1 very promising
,----[ Quote ]
| The open-source KDE desktop environment is built on top of Trolltech's Qt
| development toolkit. One of the most significant changes in KDE 4.1 is the
| adoption of Qt 4.4, a new version of the toolkit which includes important
| features such as a built-in WebKit-based HTML rendering widget and support
| for placing widgets on canvases. These features will bring some new
| capabilities to KDE's Plasma desktop shell.

Hardy Heron moves into the Black Tower
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, I’ve found Kubuntu 8.04 to be a solid, lean Linux desktop with a
| polished look and feel, backed by well-stocked, reliable software
| repositories (stocked with around 25,000 packages). All the basics are
| present, including a KDE 3.5.9 desktop, graphics and multimedia utilities and
| support, a browsers, email, and messaging clients, games, and the
| incomparable OpenOffice office software suite. Additionally, the OS features
| easy software installation and updates thanks to its debian apt-get package
| architecture and graphical Adept package management front end.

KDE 4 rev 802150: Work in progress
,----[ Quote ]
| KWin with Wobbly Windows
|
| Kwin features a new visual effect known to most of you from Compiz: the
| Wobbly Windows. Only a few days ago the settings panel for this effect had
| tons of detailed options. Most of these options have been disabled now, the
| only thing that can be configured is the window deformation level while in
| motion. This seems more appropriate for a common user since the number of
| configurable settings was overwhelming before. One minor flaw that I noticed
| in KWin Wobble Windows is that the window shadow is not properly deformed (it
| does not adjust to the current shape of the window).
