KDE 1.1pre2



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hey all.  KDE 1.1pre2 was released the other day, and I have begun
constructing Debian packages of it.  If anybody out there is interested, I
will make them available for download.  I have constructed packages for
the basic KDE installation, kdeutil, and kdeadmin.  I'm working on
kdenetwork now, but there's a problem with one of the Makefiles that I'll
need to fix first.  I'll make more packages soon.

If you're currently running KDE 1.0 or one of the old beta versions, then
you DEFINITELY want to upgrade.  1.1 is much nicer than previous versions
in all respects, especially performance.  Everything is much snappier than
before and looks more professional.  I haven't been using KDE much lately,
because I love the NextStep look & feel that I get with Window Maker and
friends, but KDE 1.1 has got me really psyched.  I definitely suggest
taking a look at all this stuff.

Incedentally, if you're thinking about building KDE for yourself, the
kdebase package alone took 45 minutes to compile on my 200MHz K6 w/32 MB
RAM.  It's quite a task.
