The latest beta of KDE's 3.2, beta 2, was released a few days ago. I installed the provided Fedora RPMs and had a look in this early pre-release version of the popular X11 desktop environment. Six screenshots are included. We look at both the strengths and the weaknesses of the DE.

> If you're skilled enough to use the sources directly, I think it's time you learned how to download applications selectively. For the default packaging: that's the work for the distribution. KDE does not make these, it only makes sources.
Ok, U can download kopete and compile it as a standalone app. but what about Kghostview? I found it nowhere.
Or better Konqueror Would be nice to have it as a standalone app (I think, it should be possible to do that).
So I could use fluxbox + konqueror + Control center ... I need nothing else.
I also don't want download so big files - Download and compile time is too
.
they certainly have less peoples who wants to test the beta's && release candidate. - 1 Day to compile kde is to much.
I don't see the add-value they get than delevering so big sources. Or do u can find a reason for doing that ?
