  • retardidiot, on 11/13/2008, -0/+11I am looking forward to this release. Maybe I will switch back to using KDE from Gnome.
  • visio159, on 11/13/2008, -0/+10KDE 4.2 looks kickarse :p
    Nice review too.
  • forknife, on 11/14/2008, -0/+9more useless crap i dont need. I'll stick with IBM Selectric typewriters.
  • motang, on 11/13/2008, -1/+8Looking good, need to install Kubuntu 8.10 on my notebook.
  • puelocesar, on 11/14/2008, -1/+6yeah, of course Microsoft invented the black color now, everything that's black is a copy of Vista..
  • mazza558, on 11/13/2008, -0/+5Surely the devs will slip it in through the backports repo?

    If not, there'll be instructions for installation on the Kubuntu website.
  • dualscreenman, on 11/13/2008, -0/+4The current plan is to publish KDE 4.2.0 into intrepid-backports as soon as it's available.
    Pre-release versions (betas, RCs) will be available through an experimental-type PPA.
  • solidslash, on 11/13/2008, -0/+4Looks uber-awesome! I'm going to try kde4 now on my Archlinux machine.
  • augustofretes, on 11/13/2008, -0/+4I sincerely believe that Arezzo is better looking (except for the tooltips, I use elgance theme for those). However, Aya matchs your color scheme. and that's a good feature.

    But, nuno is extremely talented, so I'm sure he'll come with beautiful new oxygen theme :)
  • puelocesar, on 11/13/2008, -1/+4Well, actually 4.2 is scheduled to the begin of 2009, so, if he install Kubuntu NOW, he won't have it, unless he uses Project Neon, am I wrong?
  • puelocesar, on 11/13/2008, -1/+4It's all matter of taste, I prefer Elegancè
  • TehDoctor, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2I wished they had picked Aya as the default theme. It's so much nicer.
  • puelocesar, on 11/14/2008, -1/+3Arezzo is really great, but some bits of it annoy me.. That new feature that lets you choose bits from one theme and parts of other will help in this regard
  • puelocesar, on 11/13/2008, -1/+2Well, you will certainly not get that plasma on your Kubuntu 8.10, so don't be disappointed if doens't works like the shots
  • augustofretes, on 11/17/2008, -0/+0That isn't the default taskbar, that said, Arrezo theme is simiar in that regard, but it's a damn gradient svg, exactly there, all similarities end.

    Oxygen icons are different, not to mention better, than those of Vista.
  • tatewatkins, on 11/16/2008, -0/+0You and me both, kde4.1 was still annoyingly unstable
  • TehDoctor, on 11/13/2008, -6/+2Hrm, I haven't seen that one. But it's probably better than that vista-looking crap.
  • DefiniteFail, on 11/14/2008, -4/+0Make it stable, and change the name, and I'll make sure all my friends know about this.

    This is what I call the perfect desktop(For me atleast). :)
  • TehDoctor, on 11/14/2008, -7/+2Dude... look at the taskbar. It's a shiny vista knockoff just like half the icons Nuno made are ripoffs of Mac icons.
  • mrynit, on 11/14/2008, -8/+1more useless crap i don't need. I'll stick with GNOME
