NEW • Development Release: Kubuntu 8.04 Alpha "KDE4" |
 |
Jonathan Riddell has announced the first alpha release of Kubuntu 8.04 "KDE4", a special, community supported edition of Kubuntu featuring the very latest KDE 4 code: "Kubuntu KDE4 Hardy Alpha is here. There will be two editions of Kubuntu with the 8.04 release, a commercially supported KDE 3 edition and a community supported KDE 4 edition. We recommend the KDE 4 edition to those who want to try this exciting new desktop version and can put up with some missing features. It comes with KDE 4.0.1 and some applications from KDE 3 to fill in any gaps. As with any first alpha there remains much polishing to be done (you will need to run KNetworkManager manually for example), but it gives a good overview of what will be released with as 8.04 in April." Here is the brief release announcement. Download (MD5): hardy-desktop-i386.iso (674MB, torrent), hardy-desktop-amd64.iso (681MB, torrent). |
