GNOME 2.3 Snapshot, KDE 3.1.2 Released
BSD Forums writes "The GNOME Development Series Snapshot 2.3.1 "Daddy Walrus", is now available. FreeBSD's Joe Marcus Clarke has ported this release (2.3) on FreeBSD and is looking for your testing help. Also, the KDE Project announced the immediate availability of KDE 3.1.2, a maintenance release for the third generation of this UNIX desktop."
Don't bother to install Gnome 2.3.1, according to Gnome's release schedule 2.3.2 is to be released in two days.
The link to the KDE 3.1.2 change log is missing in the story. And for the case you missed it, the KDE 3.1 New Feature Guide and the KDE 3.1 Screenshots are still available.
Well, for better or for worse, here's my take:

>>> I have to say I'm psyched! And I just can't wait for 2005 to come around, when I can pull them out of debian stable. ;)
:)
what about pulling it right now?
just use unstable as i do... if you want debian as a desktop unstable is a very good choice, don't think this unstable would actually mean unstable in the commen sense.
in fact, it is even considered to be more stable that testing by many people (not all people, no flaimbait please)
It was a JOKE. Thank you for your time. We all know about debian unstable, he was merely making an amusing statent. I hate these fucking human dictionary robots.
Add an icon into the K menu for your script (using the menu editor)... you can set a keyboard shortcut to execute this script in menu editor as well.
Right click on the K menu to access menu editor.
Launch the menu editor. (By right clicking the k, then click "Menu Editor")
Select the progam you want.
Theres an option called current shortcut key. Click that and select the shortcut you want.
If you are using Redhat and love KDE, I would highly suggest checking out the KDE-Redhat project on SourceForge. Rex and his group have done an excellent job of building & optimizing the KDE packages for Redhat versions and, if you are using apt-rpm, it's fairly easy to keep up-to-date with their builds.
Cheers!

You should read the weekly KDE CVS Digest if you're so eager to read about new features.
deb http://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1.2/Debian stable main
And you can have the latest & greatest KDE running on stable.
You may also want to check out XBindKeys. Don't know if it'll help you, but it works for me.
As has been explained a million times already, many distros up their major version number when they break binary compatibility. Mandrake 9.x uses KDE3 whereas Mandrake 8.x uses KDE2, as an example. And before you harp on about KDE, KDE3 uses Qt3, which isn't binary compatible with Qt2. KDE3 is largely source compatible with KDE2.
KDE and GNOME.
mandrake started out around version 5.1 or 5.2.
at the time it made sense- up until about version 6.1, mandrake version x.y was not much more than redhat x.y + precompiled kde packages and a slightly different installer. they used the same version number as redhat to indicate package compatibility. it wasnt until around mandrake 7 that they truly distinguished themselves from redhat. at that point it wouldn't have made much sense to jump backwards to mandrake 1.0, would it?
If I don't put anything here, will anyone recognize me anymore?
