“The final release of Linux Mint 8 (Helena) KDE Community
Edition is available for download. I wrote about the Release
Candidate of this a couple of weeks ago, so I won’t add too much
more now. I’m still more of a Gnome desktop user than KDE, but as
KDE 4 gets better and better, and combined with the excellent
integration with Linux Mint, this one is a real alternative for
me.

“The first thing to be aware of is that with KDE added on top of
the Linux Mint distribution, the size of the Live Image is about
1.1Gb. Of course that’s too large to fit on a CD, so we are talking
about a LiveDVD here. That shouldn’t be a problem these days, but
it is worth knowing in advance.”
