KDE 3.2 'Rudi' Beta Released

Posted by simoniker on from the send-a-message-to-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The beta of the next version of KDE, billed as 'the premiere Open Source desktop', has been released. Read the announcement at KDE.org. Notable features include a big clean up of the interface and menus, Improvements to KHTML from Apple, better accessibility and hardware support. There are also new applications such as JuK (a music player similar to iTunes), KDevelop (a graphical IDE), Kontact (an integrated communications package like Outlook) and more. Download it here and since this is a beta, report any problems or bugs you have." Also, nukem996 points out "The counter-terrorism unit on TV series '24' went KDE this season, too."

    Hey, if 24 has embraced it, how long until Apple itself does?

    Way to go KDE!

  2. So... by DAldredge · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Can I build fast, non-scripted, closed source apps for KDE like I can for GNOME? Or do I still have to pay the 4 digit price tag for a commerical QT DEV license?

  3. XMMS? Are you out of your mind? by Tyler+Eaves · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    XMMS is a mediocre clone of Winamp 2. It gets the job done, sorta, but it's certainly not something I'd hold up as quality software.
