KDE 3.0 beta 1 is out · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by HeUnique on Wednesday December 19, 2001 @10:10PM from the let-the-tests-begin dept.

From the development team who tries to break every development speed record (last month they released KDE 2.2.2) comes KDE 3.0 beta 1, with lots of new features, new QT (3.0.1). It is beta 1 so expect crashes. You can find release notes and download locations over . A full feature list of whats planned to be on KDE 3.0 is also available (hmm, quite a big list) and some screenshots are available here. Please read the README files for your favorite distribution before installing the files as those packages are not replacing the KDE 2.2.X binaries (if you have it installed).

It's pretty depressing to see how slowly KDE and GNOME are evolving. As much as I love Linux, I must admit that Windows and Mac OS X have nicer GUIs. Since they're evolving faster than the Linux desktops, I wonder if we'll ever catch up.
