Kubuntu & Ubuntu 8.10 released

The ne Ubuntu release Intrepid Ibex has been released on time. I really like the way it works. The clip has been recorded by golem.de and shows the GNOME UI which is used by Ubuntu.
I had time to install the Kubuntu derivate myself.
Itcomes with a fully integrated KDE 4.1, which really rocks! Everything worked out-of-the-box. Unfotunatly my Lenovo T61 has an built in NVIDIA card, so the effects only run at about 95%.
I don’t want to write too much, but I hope you give it a try.

    Have you tried Ultimate Edition 2.0? It’s based on Ubuntu but much better.

  3. Yeah I did… but I’ve got a working a svn copy of KDE 4.x… that’s many ways better… it looks nearly as consistent as gnome and is as feature complete as kde 3.x… Maybe I will create a small screencast the other day.
