Re: [LUG] KDE 4.1 Beta released today

 

According to The Register, KDE 4.1 Beta has been released (link here: 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/29/kde_4point1_beta_1_released/)

Just wondering if anyone is planning to give it a try?

I'm tempted to give it a go as my PC does need a fresh install, 
although I'm not so sure about compiling the whole of KDE from scratch 
(small things, I don't mind, but a big app like KDE, I think I'd 
rather try a distro packaged version).

I think I'll be waiting for the full release and Kubuntu packages myself.

I recently migrated my Hardy Heron to KDE 4.0 and am not entirely happy. 
KDE 4.0 and Plasma look very nice and have a lot of potential but I find 
it isn't polished enough for me to enjoy using it - too many work-arounds 
and fiddles for my liking, and it's still a little buggy.

>>From what I've read, it WILL improve so yes, I will be upgrading, but not 
to 4.1 beta

I just need to swap out my rubbish SiS video card for decent one that can 
do the fluffy compiz bits...
