Today sees the release of Kubuntu 8.10 featuring the KDE 4 desktop. The
Kubuntu developers have been hard at work, bringing you the latest and
greatest software the open source community has to offer. KDE 4 reworks
your system with a major new revision of the desktop.

This Intrepid release lives up to its name by including many changes, but
there are some features that are not yet available in KDE 4. If you would
rather stay with what you know then remember that Kubuntu 8.04 is still
fully supported, see KDE3-KDE4Migration and Is KDE 4.1 for you? for more
information on deciding. You can try it first with the Kubuntu Intrepid
Live CD to see for yourself whether or not it really is "for you".
