Mart Shuttleworth discusses Canonical’s new Ubuntu Netbook Remix: goals, design decisions, license, project status, relations to OEM’s and… “Were also working with two companies that want more radical user interface innovation.”

KDE 4.1 Beta 1 has been released and packages are available for Kubuntu 8.04, the Hardy Heron. These packages install to /usr/lib/kde4 and can be installed along side your existing KDE 3 installation.

Ubuntu now has its own Brainstorm website where people can add their ideas and vote for their favorites.
An idea on brainstorm can easily be linked to a Launchpad blueprint as well as to a bug or a forum discussion thread. In this way we expect to bridge the locations where ideas are often submitted now, as forum posts or bug reports, with the…
This is the stable release of KTorrent 3 using KDE4. Many features has been added, IPv6 support,SOCKSv4 and v5 support, the network interface to use can now be selected…..
