KDE 3.2 'Rudi' Beta Released

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."

    I notice it's running on a Dell machine. In the first season all the bad guys used 'em.

    Hmm... my Boss also has a Dell! Arhh!!

    You'd think with all these Linux users who happen to be programmers that they'd make the most advanced sophisticated programming tools, but Linux programming tools are for the most part crap, the only decent programming tool is Kdevelop. So as a rule everyone who uses Kdevelop to write code should add a feature or fix a bug in Kdevelop.

    The screenshot you posted is terrible, take a look at the JuK screenshot here. Looks much nicer doesn it?

    Ah. And why is that? Could it be that it looks nicer because it looks more like MacOS X?

    Talk about missing the point...
