A few months ago I posted about a Linux distro called gOS, the Google-Linux distro. To refresh things, gOS is based on the most widely acclaimed Ubuntu Linux and integrates all Google services like GMail, Google News, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Maps, YouTube and Blogger into the distro for one-click access. Back then, gOS was based on the Enlightenment E17 window manager, with no support for KDE or Gnome. Now gOS is available in three different versions - gOS Rocket E, which is the Enlightenment based version, gOS Rocket G which is based on Gnome and another fresh one called gOS Space which includes MySpace applications for photos, music, movies, TV etc.

Now KDE 4.1 is out, I’ve played around a bit with different themes. I’ve installed the KDE artwork package, and a couple of themes via GetHotNewStuff. KDE’s coloring system has seen quite a lot of love, as has Plasma’s theming engine. The results are quite impressive, as you can see in the screenshots.

First off, a bright setup with full-width, pretty standard panel. The Plasma theme used here is Aya, I’ve made the window background colors a bit lighter, just for more intense shininess. Those bright colors also go quite well with the “Glassified” color scheme, but I found it lacking some ‘whitespace’. The screenshot shows some integration bits as well, the context menu offers to install the package using Ubuntu’s gdebinstaller. The GTK+ theme blends in nicely with the colors I’ve set up. (Without me even tweaking it).

Mandriva is proud to announce the release of Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring Alpha 2, marking the first public pre-release of the upcoming Mandriva Linux 2009. This alpha introduces several significant changes, most obviously the inclusion of KDE 4 - 4.1 beta 2, specifically - as the default version of KDE, and the latest development version of GNOME, 2.23.4. The kernel has also been updated to release 2.6.26rc7. We emphasize that the KDE change is a major one that is not yet entirely completed and likely to cause many bugs. As always - but more importantly than ever - we remind you not to use pre-releases in any critical situation; install them only on a test system or partition, or in a virtual machine. Additionally, we strongly discourage using this pre-release to upgrade from any earlier release of Mandriva Linux, as the transition process from KDE 3 to KDE 4 is not yet fully implemented and you are likely to end up with an unusable system.
