KDE 3.2 Release Candidate 1 Debuts

Posted by simoniker on from the run-kde-and-jam-master-jay dept.

danalien writes "Before a early Feb. release of the (stable) KDE 3.2, KDE has today announced the first 'Release Candidate', and hopefully the last pre-release, for its 'Open Source graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations'. Get it from download.kde.org, or use Konstruct if you don't feel like calling configure by yourself."

    That's nice. And appropriate, since KDE is Tougher Than Leather. :)

    Bruce Perens finally confessed that his reasons for embracing GNOME rather than KDE were "...a severe lack of Gs, and far too many Ks. All technical aspects aside, I knew RMS would roast me if I chose something that didn't start with a G."

    Honestly, I think KDE is a technical masterpiece. It gives me a GUI which can easily be configured in pretty much every conceivable way.

    GNOME, MacOS, and Windows just don't have that kind of room for personality.

    Well... At least it should be obligatory...

    ..."Yes, I saw your advert in the bolour supplement."
    "The what?"
    "The bolour supplement!"
    "The colour supplement?"
    "Yes. I'm sorry I can't say the letter B."
    "C?"
    "Yes, that's right. It's all due to a trauma I suffered when I was a spoolboy. I was attacked by a bat."
    "A cat?"
    "No, a bat."
    "Can you say the letter 'K'?"
    "Oh yes. Khaki, king, kettle, Kuwait, Keble Bollege Oxford."
    "Why don't you use the letter 'K' instead of the letter 'C'?"
    "What do you mean ... spell bolour with a 'K'?"
    "Yes."
    "Kolour... Oh, that's very good, I never thought of that."
