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."

      Cowboi Kneel is an overweight /. janitor who takes part in many twisted sexual fantasies such as sitting ass-naked on Jon Katz's face or sucking Hemos's or CmdrTaco's cock. Since Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda's recent wedding proposal, Cowboi Kneel has been sexually frustrated since his butt buddy will no longer indulge his fantasies about all things ANAL. Other than working at Slashdot, he'll often frequent gay pr0n sites such as Goatse.cx or HomoSex.com. I hoped that helped answer your questions.

    Why is this a troll?

    He seems to be asking if KDE is still the same old KDE with new eye candy or have things really gotten better?

    ...wish people would learn what a troll is...
