KDE 4.0 Beta 1 Released

Posted by Zonk on from the and-they-are-just-giving-it-away-this-time dept.

dbhost writes "Along with this morning's cup of coffee and log reviews, I discovered that the KDE team is moving forward with a long awaited beta release of KDE 4.0 beta release of KDE 4.0. The most interesting item I found in the notes is that the file manager in KDE is being separated from Konqueror into a component called Dolphin. Also, according to the announcement, konsole has been treated to a number of improvements such as split view, and history highlighting."

    Enjoy your pseudo-Windows interface, Windows haters. Bet WINE runs well under it!

    obviously you don't use open source software as you've shown a complete misunderstanding of how the development process works.. also-- KDE 4.0 is in beta, most of the *ambitious* features HAVE been implemented... msfanboi? is that you?

    This KDE and Gnome. Why???

      Get a Mac.

      I hate em' both. Useless users of massive resources to keep their integrated stylings. Pitiful and somehow profoundly anti *nix. That half wit konsole is especially galling. Themes and goodies for a fucking terminal ... arghhhh.

  5. konsole improved? by dghcasp · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I didn't see the simplest improvement in konsole listed:

    rm konsole && cp xterm konsole

    I would personally prefer it if you the KDE development team didn't try to sell vaporware. I'm trying to think of a generous reason for this deliberate piece of confusion, but all I'm coming up with are negative explanations.

    Are you really that retarded, or do you only have a problem with language comprehension? This form of joke makes a comparison between something that is happening now, and something that is commonly associated with another person or place (or in this case, time). It in no way implies anything else about the "current" situation. All it says is that thing A (happening now) is like thing B (happened somewhere else).

    You fucking R-Tard.
