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."

    And I thought KDE tried to provide (among other things) familiarity for people with previous expirience with windoze.

    One man's "runs adequately" is another man's "runs slower than a snail on barbiturates". Cygwin coulda been called Pygwin, IMO.
