"Coinciding with the start of the LinuxWorld Expo here in New York, the KDE Team has announced today that KDE 2.1-beta2 is ready for your enjoyment. The attached press release goes into the details (and I can't help but throw in this cool screenshot of the new Konqueror splash page), and lists a number of pre-compiled packages. This all in prelude to the scheduled release of KDE 2.1 in mid-February. So what are you waiting for -- startcha 'loadin'."

"This is the last planned beta release before the scheduled release of KDE 2.1 on February 19, 2001. KDE 2.1 offers a number of additions, enhancements and fixes over KDE 2.0.1, the last stable KDE release which shipped on December 5, 2000."

"KDE 2.1-beta2 includes the core KDE libraries, the core desktop environment, as well as the over 100 applications from the other standard base KDE packages: Administration, Games, Graphics, Multimedia, Network, Personal Information Management (PIM), Toys and Utilities. In addition, this release includes the development packages KDevelop, Bindings, an SDK and Documentation. KOffice is not included in this release."
