Kubuntu KDE4 beta

The new version of the Kubuntu KDE4 Linux distribution is almost ready. The new version of KDE is very attractive, the first installation was not a good experience because KDE suffers from slowliness. It can be corrected by installing the package scim

sudo apt-get install scim

after this correction the attraction of the new environment is much more evident. Progress are there and many new things are available:

  • KDE 4
    • Plasma – size and position of the panel is now configurable
    • KHTML – repainting issues addressed and KHTML now supports more websites by accepting more non-HTML4-compliant documents
    • Several stability issues have been fixed
    • Session switching has been included
  • KDE 3
    • A favorite email folders view in KMail as well as drag-and-drop support for the folders
    • Easier scheduling in KOrganizer
    • KGeography and Kig fixes within the KDE Edu module
    • Fixes to KPDF
  • Desktop Effects
  • Amarok
  • Kaffeine Codec Installation
  • Wubi
  • Encryption
  • NTFS Support and User Mountable Hard Disks
  • Bulletproof X and Display Configuration
