KDE 3.0.1 Ships

Andreas "Dre" Pour writes "Short on the heels of the remarkably successful launch of the KDE 3 series with a very stable and complete KDE 3.0 last month, the KDE Project has announced the immediate availability of KDE 3.0.1. While primarily a translation release, it also squashes some bugs, including some minor security issues with the HTML engine. Read the (relatively short) announcement and the fairly complete ChangeLog for more info. Binary packages are already available from the stalwart KDE packagers at Compaq Tru64, Conectiva Linux, Mandrake Linux and SuSE Linux. As always, we hope you enjoy the latest and greatest KDE!"

OT: Linux on the desktop

[edremy]

I work on a 95% W2K campus, with the remainder being Mac. I've been gently pushing folks here to consider various Unix solutions. I even occasionally joke with my only-slightly-pointy-haired boss about replacing W2K and Office with Linux/OpenOffice whenever MS licensing costs come up.

I love Linux. I've got the only Linux box here since I don't feel like porting a bunch of CGI Perl I wrote to IIS. But I hear people talk all the time about how Linux is ready for the desktop and that KDE is just as easy as Windows.

And then I see the above post, and realize just how detached that view is from reality...
