KDE 3.0 Beta 2 is out

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Subject says all - the next beta of KDE 3.0 is out, after a short delay. You can find the downloads at this announcement. Click below to read more details about this version. One of the most important things that the Konqueror teams wants from people are test cases of your regulary visited pages, where Konqueror either fails to render or render things incorrectly, and submit it using KDE's Bug Tracking system. URL's will not be helpful as it takes lots of time to strip a page from all the HTML code in order to find the actual problematic part of the web page.

Just to save the search for some people: Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware and Tru-64 binary packages are available now. Others will be available soon. Source code is of course available also.

What will be even funnier will be that KDE gets slashdotted because of it!

My karma is nearly at the cap, so I think I might commit Karma Suicide as well!

"You have to do something with all those spare cycles and I could really care less about finding alien signals from noise, cracking the latest DES, or factoring the largest mersine (sic) primes."

Well how about finding a cure for cancer? It used to be Windows only, but I think there is a linux console version now, or if not, there at least is for some of the other worthy causes to crunch numbers for.

I run the cancer one on 3 of my boxes at home; I guarantee you will get more of a genuine "warm, fuzzy feeling" from helping cancer research than you will knowing you compiled all your own source.
