KDE Releases Improved Desktop and Applications Dedicated to Uwe Thiem

July 29, 2008. The KDE Community today released KDE 4.1.0. This release is the second feature release of the KDE 4 series, sporting new applications and newly developed features on top of the Pillars of KDE4. KDE 4.1 is the first KDE4 release to contain the Personal Information Management suite KDE-PIM with its E-Mail client KMail, the planner KOrganizer, Akregator, the RSS feed reader, KNode, the newsgroup reader and many more components integrated into the Kontact shell. Furthermore, the new desktop shell Plasma, introduced in KDE 4.0, has matured to the point where it can replace the KDE 3 shell for most casual users. Like with our previous release much time has been devoted to improving the framework and underlying libraries on which KDE is built. Continue Reading >>

[It had been written two weeks ago (in May), but (for some reasons) I just can publish it today, sorry for the delay]

I found the way how to get Firefox 3.0 for openSUSE 10.3, so I thought about adding the repository to YaST Software Repositories, and bingo!!.. I had it, it’s beta version though, but it’s stable enough for me.

People who wants to learn and speak foreign language fluently might need dictionary. But carry it everywhere is not just being annoyed (even in small one) and extends our list-that-must-be carry on, it also has limited words and its translatins. Because the more words to be translated and its translations to be added, the more papers must be filled, and the more burden you have taken.

So, the reader of this blog can consider on how to follow my tutorials correctly.

Almost all my posts are taken from many events that occur in my laptop– how things make some errors, how it’s important to report, and usefull to be documented. And it’s of course written in this laptop too..

Ok, lets see then how I describe my own machine in this my favorite blog.. Continue Reading »
