The KDE Community is thrilled to announce the immediate availability of KDE 4.0. This significant release marks both the end of the long and intensive development cycle leading up to KDE 4.0 and the beginning of the KDE 4 era.

The KDE 4 Libraries have seen major improvements in almost all areas. The Phonon multimedia framework provides platform independent multimedia support to all KDE applications, the Solid hardware integration framework makes interacting with (removable) devices easier and provides tools for better power management.

The KDE 4 Desktop has gained some major new capabilities. The Plasma desktop shell offers a new desktop interface, including panel, menu and widgets on the desktop as well as a dashboard function. KWin, the KDE Window manager, now supports advanced graphical effects to ease interaction with your windows.

Lots of KDE Applications have seen improvements as well. Visual updates through vector-based artwork, changes in the underlying libraries, user interface enhancements, new features, even new applications -- you name it, KDE 4.0 has it. Okular, the new document viewer and Dolphin, the new file manager are only two applications that leverage KDE 4.0's new technologies.

The Oxygen Artwork team provides a breath of fresh air on the desktop. Nearly all the user-visible parts of the KDE desktop and applications have been given a facelift. Beauty and consistency are two of the basic concepts behind Oxygen.



Desktop

    * Plasma is the new desktop shell. Plasma provides a panel, a menu and other intuitive means to interact with the desktop and applications.
    * KWin, KDE's proven window manager, now supports advanced compositing features. Hardware accelerated painting takes care of a smoother and more intuitive interaction with windows.
    * Oxygen is the KDE 4.0 artwork. Oxygen provides a consistent, easy on the eye and beautiful artwork concept.

Applications

    * Konqueror is KDE's established web browser. Konqueror is light-weight, well integrated, and supports the newest standards such as CSS 3.
    * Dolphin is KDE's new file manager. Dolphin has been developed with usability in mind and is an easy-to-use, yet powerful tool.
    * With System Settings, a new control center interface has been introduced. The KSysGuard system monitor makes it easy to monitor and control system resources and activity.
    * Okular, the KDE 4 document viewer, supports many formats. Okular is one of the many KDE 4 applications that has been improved in collaboration with the OpenUsability Project.
    * Educational Applications are among the first applications that have been ported and developed using KDE 4 technology. Kalzium, a graphical periodic table of elements and the Marble Desktop Globe are only two of many gems among the educational applications. Read more about Educational Applications in the Visual Guide.
    * Lots of the KDE Games have been updated. KDE Games such as KMines, a minesweeper game and KPat, a patience game have had facelifts. Thanks to new vector artwork and graphical capabilities, the games have been made more resolution independent.

Some applications are introduced in more detail in the KDE 4.0 Visual Guide.

Libraries

    * Phonon offers applications multimedia capabilities such as playing audio and video. Internally, Phonon makes use of various backends, switchable at runtime. The default backend for KDE 4.0 will be the Xine backend supplying outstanding support for various formats. Phonon also allows the user to choose output devices based on the type of multimedia.
    * The Solid hardware integration framework integrates fixed and removable devices into KDE applications. Solid also interfaces with the underlying system's power management capabilities, handles network connectivity and integration of Bluetooth devices. Internally, Solid combines the powers of HAL, NetworkManager and the BlueZ bluetooth stack, but those components are replacable without breaking applications to provide maximum portability.
    * KHTML is the webpage rendering engine used by Konqueror, KDE's web browser. KHTML is light-weight and supports modern standards such as CSS 3. KHTML was also the first engine to pass the famous Acid 2 test.
    * The ThreadWeaver library, which comes with kdelibs, provides a high-level interface to make better use of today's multi-core systems, making KDE applications feel smoother and more efficiently using resources available on the system.
    * Being built on Trolltech's Qt 4 library, KDE 4.0 can make use of the advanced visual capabilities and smaller memory footprint of this library. kdelibs provides an outstanding extension of the Qt library, adding large amounts of high-level functionality and convenience to the developer.

openSuSE 10.3 Live CD sa KDE 4.0 možete skinuti odavde

KDE4 uh bre

Imam instaliran program Audacity za snimanje zvuka ali kada ga pokrenem izbaci mi sledecu gresku.Zvuk iz iz zvucne radi a imam ubuntu linux

Evo ovako imam sad par pitanj
1.Da li je moguce instalirati ponovo isti linix ili neki drugi a da ostanu podaci na hardu.
2.Ubutu mi je nesto zablokirao pa ne mogu da koristim net sada koristim live verziju mandrive 2008

To su za sada jedina dva koja mi se licno dopadaju.E sada imam problem da se odlucim,ubundu mi se svidja jer se lako instaliraju programi to jest sam skine sa neta i instalira a mndriva ima lepo okruzenje.E sada kada bi mandriva mogla ono sto i ubuntu ili obrnuto da bude tako lep kao mandriva

To je konstatacia na ova dva pitanja koje me muci

a 3.Pitanje je da li je moguce ubaciti fontove koje koristi windovs u programe za linux ako ne gde da nadjem fontove za njega.

Sigurno problem sa netom može da se reši i bez reinstalacije celog sistema 
Podaci mogu da ostanu ako ih prebaciš na drugu particiju. Ne vidim drugi način na instaliraš drugu distribuciju bez formatiranja postojeće particije 
Mandriva valjda ima KDE, znači Ubuntu+KDE=Kubuntu Pogledaj na ovoj strani poruku za KDE 4.0, da vidiš kako je lep Postoji Live verzija Kubuntu-a sa KDE 4

Ne trebaju neki specijali fontovi za Linux, radiće i ovi "za Win" 

Jest kad bi ja znao


A gde da ih smetim,jel isti fazon kao i kod wina

za win font na ubuntu:

ako ti se mandriva svidja zbog kde-a onda je kubuntu pravo resenje za tebe kao sto kaze enaB.
ako ti je /home na posebnoj particiji samo nemoj nju da formatiras i ostace ti podaci. ako nije onda iskopiraj na sigurno tvoj home direktorijum i posle formata ga samo vrati.

Ako mu se Mandriva sviđa, pravo rešenje je PCLinuxOS 
PCLOS je rađen na Madriva codebase, poseduje sve njene alate i confige, uključujući i mcc, plus što je ovo očišćen kod, samim tim je veoma brz i stabilan, i ima par dodatnih alata, poput neprevaziđenog Synaptic-a, sve potrebne kodeke, itd. PCLOS nije džaba lider na listama, ja ga koristim oko 8 meseci, i mogu reći da sam, nakon više od 7 godina bavljenja Linuxom, veoma zadovoljan, i za sada je PCLOS moj glavni favorit.
