KDE 3.2.0 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-your-gui-on dept.

Quique writes "KDE 3.2 has just been released. The official announcement is available at the KDE site and the source tarballs are being replicated to the mirrors. There are already binary packages for a few distributions. Besides the usual bugfixes and new features, this release has been highly optimized and runs way faster than previous versions. This is a good opportunity for Windows users to migrate to a free desktop."

    Sorry, but Linux simply isn't ready for typical users.

    Note: Programmers and people with excessive amounts of free time are not 'typical users'.

  2. PLEASE STOP WITH THE K-PREFIX CRAP by bonch · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sorry, just assuming everyone's inner voice for a second there.

    Seriously--can we please stop? KMag? KGoldRunner? I think KDE should actually change it's name. KDE is a horrible, horrible name for a user-friendly desktop. Anyone remember what Bill Gates wanted to call Windows originally? Then a marketing guy stepped in.

    I know this gets said in every KDE article. But maybe that's because so many people are being seemingly unheard. Change KDE's name, and stop with the Ks--it's not cute, funny, or intuitive!
