KDE 4: The KDE SC in Kubuntu and Fedora
Although not one of my main desktop environments any longer, I have been keeping track of KDE development now and then and feel it has improved a great deal. Ever since the 4.4 releases it actually seems stable and light enough to use and while not all features and functions present in KDE 3.5 may have been replicated (at least Kwikdisk and Kdiskfree are back), the 4.4 series has marked the point where KDE has finally become usable again. I have to admit, it looks good too. I actually enjoy booting into the new KDE.
With that in mind, I've had a look at the last two releases of Kubuntu and Fedora. Both are frequently compared, and again in the current LinuxFormat magazine, but usually it is about the new features they introduce and so-called newbie or user friendliness. It is about looking at the entire distribution and almost always features the main Gnome release.
