Get openSUSE 11.1 with KDE2 now!

There have been endless complaints about the KDE4 desktop shell missing certain functionalities like being able to have different wallpapers on each virtual desktop. The openSUSE KDE team has now listened and worked hard to bring back all desktop functionality as you know it from KDE2. A technical preview in form of a Live-CD (for i686 only) is now available. As additional bonus, Time Machine functionality was included too.

Our fellow Beineri has done a good job

April Fools? :slight_smile:

No, it is not! It’s a real thing. Don’t believe me? Try it out

I downloaded the ISO and fired it up in a VirtualBox VM. It’s like happening upon a computer with W98. Well not that old, but it’s got that retro boxy feel to it. Amazing what hackers will get up to to have fun.

In any case it’s still hilarious. LOL.
