Would be really great if all those distros like kubuntu, chakra, pardus, pclinuxos joined forces and released the best KDE distro ever … It could be called KDE/Linux

Instead you guys fight with each other, that’s not healthy and doesn’t help KDE.

@Sandsmark:
Chakra support for 64bits is also “second-rate” , if not “third-rate” … That’s why I’m using kubuntu right now.

Sorry if I was a bit rude, but it seemed that even the smallest kubuntu pre-release gets blown up on planetkde. That is probably not the case, but I tend to remember things that irk me

And sorry about the sub-par comment, but Kubuntu tended to have a rather second-rate feel over it (compared to plain Ubuntu, and for example OpenSuSE). But I haven’t used Kubuntu as my main distro in over a year, so I should probably just shut up

(I was also in a rather bad mood, but that’s not really an excuse for acting like an ass.)

KDE 4.3 Beta 1 for Jaunty will be made available as soon as possible. The first plan of attack is massaging the packages and merging back-and-forth with Debian. Once all of that is done, they will go into Karmic, and just as soon as they work there, we will more than likely backport them to one of the PPAs for everyone to use. Keep an eye on my blog, Planet Ubuntu and Planet KDE, as well as kubuntu.org. Thanks for excitement and the patience!
