Kubuntu v8.10 beta released

IntrepidIbex/Beta/Kubuntu - Ubuntu Wiki

The beta of Kubuntu v8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" has been released. This release features KDE 4.1 as its main desktop in place of the old KDE 3 (obviously, Ubuntu itself has a GNOME desktop, in version 2.24; see announcement here). Main new features:

  • KDE 4.1.2
  • Adept 3.0 (new, refactored user interface, lighter on resources than Adept 2)
  • KNetworkManager v0.7
  • Desktop effects enabled by default if a user's video card supports it
  • New update and crash notifiers
  • KMix support for keyboard multimedia keys
  • Porting of several Python-based applications to PyKDE, including GDebiKDE, Jockey-KDE, Language Selector, Software properties, and the printer manager.

See the link at the top for downloads.
