“I’ve been somewhat tardy in getting to the KDE
version of Linux Mint 8. But I’ve finally been able to sit
down with it and thus couldn’t resist writing a review. As
great as the GNOME version of Linux Mint is, it simply isn’t
for everybody. Many people still prefer KDE to GNOME and a separate
review is helpful for those looking for an alternative for GNOME.“Please note that this release weighs in at a chunky 1.16GB so
it’s not going to fit onto a CD. You’ll need a DVD to
burn it to before you can run it as a Live DVD or install it on
your system. If you’re using VirtualBox, VMWare or Parallels,
you can just do a regular install from the ISO file.“What’s New In This Release
” Linux Mint 8 KDE is based on Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala),
Linux 2.6.31, Xorg 7.4 and KDE 4.3.4.“New Features & Changes

up more space to view software and see reviews.“Now there is no need to manually refresh Software Manager,
instead you will be automatically notified of new
