Well with the release of KDE 4.1 beta2, Robby Workman released new packages for Slackware kde-4.0.83. I’ve been running KDE 4.1 since version beta1 and it’s somewhat stable for desktop use. The last version had some issues with konsole but as far as I can tell right now, those are resolved or are they!? You [...]

After some tinkering, I got tired of entering the Slackware packages one by one to download from kde4.rlworkman.net and because I get them all the time, I created this little script to do it for me. I thought I share it with the rest of the world in case anyone else is lazy like me [...]

KDE 800??? SVN Packages for Slackware
April 24, 2008 – 10:03 pm
I’ve got a bunch of new packages that I created because the latest one from Robby didn’t really work out for me. Not his fault, there was a bunch of bugs (plasma, panel, kwin) that were annoying me and because I like to live on the edge, I built some of them from SVN. I [...]

It was linux. I took a snapshot with my iPhone. I couldn’t figure out which flavor of linux but, [...]

February 13, 2008 – 11:52 pm
Well it’s been two weeks since the point release for KDE4 has been release in the wild. I was wondering when rlworkman (aka slackware package guru) would bring this new version into this world.
