KDE 3.0RC3: Prepare to Fall in Love

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-your-compile-on dept.

Dre writes "As announced on dotsy, the first day of the Season of Love (for us Northerners, anyway) brings us the KDE 3.0 final release candidate, KDE 3.0RC3. Besides fixes for any remaining crashes and grave bugs, this release will become KDE 3.0, scheduled to free the world in early April. Having benefitted from a week-long hacking session early this month, I can report that this release is very solid and, best of all, much snappier than prior releases, particularly Konqueror. Downloads are available through KDE's load-balancing mirror system. Since this is principally a show-stopper release, things are on an expedited schedule; more binary packages will appear in the next few days, and shortly thereafter KDE 3.0 will be tagged."

    'Though I usually agree, I don't see how Keramik is in any way a rip-off of WinXP and Aqua? Quite contrary, it is finally a creative, non-ripped-off, good-looking, clean and useable theme. (We've already had lots of themes, that had most of these attributes, but IMHO none every had _each_ of these).

    I'm no Microsoft apologist, but come on people, make up your minds

    And I think there, my friend, you have inadvertintly stumbled on to the reason why the ``Slashdot'' viewpoint seems to be incoherent: it's not a single person's views.
