KDE 4.0.0 has been released on January 11th, after a number of delays; the months preceding the release, the KDE developers tried very hard to downplay expectations. KDE 4.0.0 was just the first release in the KDE 4 series, and such, should not be seen as the best possible representation of the KDE 4.0.0 vision. So, when I installed KDE 4.0.0 on my Ubuntu Gutsy installation last Friday, I knew what to expect: KDE 4 Developer Release 1 (yes, I am a BeOS guy - how did you know?). Read on for a few quick first impressions.

That's because you are installing the beta that comes bundled with OpenSuse. To install the final KDE 4.0.0 desktop you have to follow this:

I have just recently moved from Ubuntu to SUSE 10.3 (KDE) and noticed that the distro is up to their typically high standards.
The KDE 3.5 implementation is great, even though the new SUSE/KDE menu takes a bit of getting used to.
However choosing to install KDE4 gave me an empty taskbar, the utility box in the top left corner of the screen, and nothing else. I had no KDE button, no system tray, nothing. Clearly some work needs to be done there!
I think that KDE 4 possibly should have been a release candidate rather than a release.
