KDE 4.1 Beta 2 on OpenSuSE 11.0
I was bored over the weekend. Really bored. Kinda had a little flu, so couldn’t go outside… What does one do then? Yeah, check out another distribution.
Decided to give OpenSuSE 11.0 a spin - wasn’t terribly amazed by the 10.3 release, but really curious to see what they did with KDE 4.x. Long story short, they did quite a nice job polishing it to look familiar to KDE 3.5.x users. Too ‘familiar’ and not enough 4.x’ish for my liking, but kudos to them - almost everything worked like you would expect it to work. Played around with it for like an hour, then decided to give KDE 4.1 Beta 2 a spin. What really, really rocks about OpenSuSE these days is their one-click installs. Went to the KDE4 Wiki page, clicked on KDE 4.1 Factory and off it went to download and install. One logout later I was greeted by Beta 2 - and it even lost the greenish SuSE polish, which I wasn’t terribly sorry about.
I don’t really get what people like about the Aya theme over Oxygen - the latter looks totally gorgeous. Transparent Plasma Panels? Check. Eye Candy everywhere? Check. Maybe it’s just me, but I just dig the black style of the Oxygen theme. Probably Aya just looks a bit more familiar. Check out this screenshot (click for full size). The only thing that’s kinda messed up are some of the Tray icons. Some of them are … garbled at the bottom. Didn’t have time to check why.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
