Do-No-Evil Saturday – Part IV: Active Week for OpenSUSE, KDE 4.0.0 Joins the Party
Since there seem to some heavy readers from “provo.novell.com“, we might as well carry on with those Saturday postings about OpenSUSE (community as opposed to just Novell itself).
Lukáš Ocilka of the OpenSUSE project gets coverage in OpenSUSE News.
Here you have an interview with Lukáš Ocilka, a Czech YaST developer maintaining many YaST components such as Installation, Firewall, and Backup.
Francis released the fourth weekly news installment.
Another short review of KDE 4.0 (test build) on OpenSUSE was posted in a blog.
I have installed KDE 4.0 RC on OpenSUSE 10.3. I was just checking the installed version and found that we have an updated version (3.97.2-4.4) of kdebase4 and almost all kde4 packages in YAST. A simple YAST update took me to a much better looking KDE desktop.
Just a short while ago, OpenSUSE packages of KDE 4.0 (final) were made available. There is also a Live CD.
The KDE Community has announced the immediate availability of KDE 4.0.0. This significant release marks both the end of the long and intensive development cycle leading up to KDE 4.0 and the beginning of the KDE 4 era. KDE developers, including our openSUSE KDE Team, have been working on getting toward KDE 4.0 for over 2 years.
Screenshots of OpenSuSE 11 Alpha 0 can be found here.
An OpenSUSE shop has just opened. It sells cups, clothing, and all those other items/accessories you would typically find in virtual CafePress shops. █
