my current KDE 4.1

Today is second august in my place and I has decorated my Opensuse 11, Fedora 9 Unity and Kubuntu 8.10 Alpha with KDE 4.1. Amazing, it is so beautiful but in Kubuntu, it still buggy and I got a blank screen.
Well KDE 4.1 is a queit, clean, stable, low RAM, cool (my pc pentium 4's fan not making cooler speed in 8 hour in Opensuse 11.) and absolutely sophisticated!

Kubuntu 8.10 kde 4.1
Luckily I have gnome so it saved my upgraded Kubuntu 8.10. Why Kubuntu 8.10? because Kubuntu 8.04 only support KDE 4.0.5 and I can't wait for too long time for kde 4.1 lol. BTW, In Kubuntu 8.10 I got blank screen but it is still ok even I have no panel at all
